The Bat The First Inspector Harry Hole Novel Harry Hole Series Jo Nesbo Don Bartlett Books

Harry Hole is a Norwegian detective who has been sent to Australia to solve the shocking murder of a B-list Norwegian television presenter. From the start Hole can tell that something is off about this case. Something is simmering just beneath the surface. If only he could focus on the case instead of the pretty redhead he just met. If only he could focus on the case instead of being tempted to fall off the wagon.

I enjoyed this book because Hole is a flawed yet lovable character that you can not help but root for. He is intelligent and has an interesting backstory. I also enjoyed how many other characters Nesbo gave us and how dense the suspect pool was. I figured out who the killer was pretty early on but was still keen to finish the book because I wanted to see how Hole would catch them. I also really enjoyed Nesbo's vivid descriptions of Australia. Nesbo's Australia felt very well researched and also well understood.

I am late to the party with the Harry Hole series and because of this I am able to read them in order as all the books in the series have now been translated. I am aware that quite a number of loyal fans more familiar with the series are of the opinion that this is the worst book in the series and advise newbies to give it a miss. Admittedly, it's not the best detective novel I have ever read but it is entertaining and I am looking forward to watching Nesbo and Hole develop as author and character respectively.

The Bat The First Inspector Harry Hole Novel Harry Hole Series Jo Nesbo Don Bartlett Books Reviews

Going from book 7 to book 1 there is a noticeable difference in writing style. The Bat is nowhere near as polished or compelling as The Snowman BUT it does give some vital background info on our beleaguered protagonist and just how deep his dysfunction goes.

Nesbø's penchant for developing relationships and characterizations is here too with Birgitta, Andrew and Joseph. Harry, when he connects with someone he develops a bond, usually pretty quickly but I find that's what I like about him. It seems anomalous to a hardened cop who puts himself in the line of fire time and time again but it humanizes him, makes him relatable somehow.

Harry's been sent to Australia to liaise with Sydney police after a Norwegian girl is murdered. I've never been to Australia but the way Nesbø makes Sydney integral to the narrative was very appealing as was all the Aboriginal folklore. True, some of them seem like non-sequiturs that didn't really contribute to the plot but I can't say they weren't interesting.

The case doesn't have the panache of The Snowman nor is it as captivating as I would've liked and I'm starting to notice a pattern that I'm hoping doesn't become formulaic in the end, but I'm invested in the hot mess that his Harry Hole.

So I'm anxious to see Nesbø's writing evolve with this series.
The trope of the tortured, alcoholic, obsessed homicide cop with a dark and terrible secret in his past has become so familiar as to elicit eye-rolling when I come across it again. But Jo Nesbo's first Harry Hole novel (although not the first released in the US) manages to rise above cliche. Harry is sent from the Oslo crime squad to sunny Australia to investigate the rape and murder of a Norwegian expatriate who was once a minor celebrity back home. There he encounters an Aboriginal police detective, a cross-dressing clown, and a winsome Swedish barmaid, among other interesting characters. Once revealed, the villain proves suitably chill-inducing, Harry battles the bottle as much as the killer, and all in all, it's a satisfying read. I've only read one other Hole novel, The Redbreast, which was frankly better than this. But this is still pretty good. Recommended.
This was my first venture into the world of Harry Hole. As other reviewers have noted, there is quite a deal of talk about how The Bat, and the subsequent next in the series, Cockroaches, were less than stellar in comparison to the series as a whole.

In The Bat, Harry is dispatched to help solve the murder case of Inger Holter, a young Norwegian woman. With the backdrop of Australia, Harry and his investigative team attempt to trace down evidence and clue that lead to the identity of the murderer.

Many reviewers who dislike the book complain about the incessant asides from characters about Australian travel or culture that seem a tad too forced. While characters seemingly breaking into spontaneous monologues about myths, legends or folklore was a bit distracting, it was not my biggest complaint. My biggest complain stems from a rather lackluster leading character in Hole--who comes across as unsympathetic and without much substance-- and a rather ridiculous direction to the novel. By all means a character can have faults (in fact, this is what gives them substance), but I felt a sense of indifference to Harry the further I read into this book. As far as the direction the book takes, it ventures into an absurd level of over the top action/violence that borders on silly and a general convolutedness that seemingly takes over the novel in the final stretches. And the ending alone, I mean, come on.

Something tells me the overall negative consensus for this book could be due to either a translation issue with this book, or simply that Nesbo was trying to find his footing with this character and the series.

At any rate, as the novel wore on, I like it less and less. I’ll probably have to wait before trying to pick it up again, but I do hear good things about The Snowman.

There’s certain bleakness to The Bat, but not a bleakness that has much dimension. It’s just bleak, period.
