Comparisons with Stieg Larsson have been made, but Nesbo's plots move quickly, carry more punch, and really do keep you guessing to the final page
Daily Mirror
A cracking good thriller...that will keep you gripped to the last page
Guardian
Outstanding... Probably the best big crime novel you could lay your hands on this year
BBC Radio 4
Nesbo's novels keep going when you think there can't be any more twists to follow. Scenes switch from the avalanche-threatened ravines and mountain cabins of back-country Norway, close to oil-rich Stavanger and metropolitan Oslo, to an active volcano in Africa
Times Literary Supplement
Original Norwegian noir...absorbing

So is <i>The Leopard</i> as good as <i>The Snowman</i>? In my opinion it's better. More layered with more suspicious characters, red-herrings and locations than ever before
