One of Amazons deal of the day is Jo Nesbo - The Snowman Kindle edition 99p.
i haven't read it personally but will most likely watch the film when it comes out later this month.
"The night the first snow falls a young boy wakes to find his mother gone. He walks through the silent house, but finds only wet footprints on the stairs. In the garden looms a solitary figure: a snowman bathed in cold moonlight, its black eyes glaring up at the bedroom windows. Round its neck is his mother’s pink scarf. Inspector Harry Hole is convinced there is a link between the disappearance and a menacing letter he received some months earlier. As Harry and his team delve into unsolved case files, they discover that an alarming number of wives and mothers have gone missing over the years. When a second woman disappears Harry’s suspicions are confirmed: he is a pawn in a deadly game. For the first time in his career Harry finds himself confronted with a serial killer operating on his turf, a killer who will drive him to the brink of insanity. A brilliant thriller with a pace that never lets up, The Snowman confirms Jo Nesbø’s position as an international star of crime fiction."

I've read it, and the other Harry Hole novels in the series, great writer. Looking forward to this! I watched Headhunters which was a film made from one of his standalone novels. It was exactly how I saw it in my head while I was reading!
