Jo Nesbo -- what happened to you?

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

oh my gosh, you must be kidding me!! Is this cliche-ridden, flawed, superficial, predictable, dull novel by the same author who produced the eery, deeper, surprising novels of the Harry Hole series?
This book would have been better if the characters had some depth, the story were enticing, and the cliches were dropped.
The performance must have been a joke. Never have I heard a less appropriate reading of a book.

What could Jo Nesbo have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Did Nesbo write this in 2 days while suffering from a hangover? I hope that in future writings Jo Nesbo will stop and think about what he's doing.

What didn’t you like about Patti Smith’s performance?

Shouldn't the narrator be a man? I mean, to go with the main character whose story is being narrated.
Patti Smith has a flat voice, stumbled on words, had some crazy twang where she says "winda" instead of window.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Blood on Snow?

Everything.
Should never have been written.
