Jo Nesbø's 6 favorite books

Norwegian crime novelist Jo Nesbø is the author of the best-selling Harry Hole series. His latest novel is Macbeth. One of his six favorite books, as shared at the Daily Express magazine:
THE KILLER INSIDE ME by Jim Thompson

Thompson was less well-known than Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler but this is more hardboiled, like American Psycho written 30 years before Bret Easton Ellis did so. What I liked was his minimalistic language but he still revealed character in every sentence.

The Killer Inside Me is among Henry Sutton's top ten novels with unreliable narrators.
