I just finished "The Snowman" by Jo Nesbø, and I have a question: is the Finnøy island of the book a real place?

Nesbø describes "the island of Finnøy in Fedje," saying "Finnøy was a tiny island." Checking Google Maps, I see Fedje, a group of small islands NNW of Bergen, but I can't see a place there named Finnøy. There is also a place called Finnøy a long distance *south* of Bergen.

At one point a character gets on a small boat in Bergen and "in 15 minutes" is at Finnøy. Both places I found are too far from Bergen to reach in 15 minutes.

Maybe it's just an invention for the novel. But I'm curious, for no practical reason aside from curiosity. Does anyone know??

When writing a mystery, I want authors to not withhold from the reader story points that are known to the characters.

does it repeatedly in Police. Half the book has a plot about an unnamed patient in a coma, with multiple characters who know him dance around his name *in their thoughts* as related to the reader. There's about 4 other instances I noticed.

LAAAAZY writing.

Hävettää myöntää mutta vasta nyt myöhäisherännäisyys Jo Nesbøn kirjoihin.

Sitä en häpeä myöntää että ovat ihan pirun hyviä.

I had excitedly saved ragnarok jonason's first crime novel for last, but was disappointed and gave up. Can you recommend a nordic novel or series or movie that I haven't noticed yet? my favorites so far:

"The Jealousy Man and Other Stories" by Jo Nesbø - a collection of short stories about jealousy. I'm in the middle of it and I can tell straight away it's gonna be 10/10. Incredible!
