Jackson Lamb, and the whole grubby world around him. Also the English voice of Harry Hole — two of the bleakest series in crime, and he is the reason both are funnier than they have any right to be. He reads the Wallander novels too.

Harry Hole

Jo Nesbø · 13 books · read throughout by Sean Barrett. A trap worth knowing about: the first two books were translated into English years after the rest, so English publication order is NOT series order. The list below is the correct sequence. Many readers start at The Redbreast, which is where the series properly finds itself — but then you meet Harry mid-stride.

  1. 1The BatThe Bat (1997)
  2. 2CockroachesCockroaches (1998)
  3. 3The RedbreastThe Redbreast (2000)

Wallander

Henning Mankell · 10 books · read throughout by Sean Barrett. Publication order. Wallander ages in real time across the sequence and the last book depends heavily on the earlier ones, so this is not a series to dip into at the end. The Pyramid is a collection of earlier cases published late, and is best read after the novels despite being chronologically first.

  2. 2The Dogs of RigaThe Dogs of Riga (1992)
  3. 3The White LionessThe White Lioness (1993)
