Detective Harry Hole ????
From the plot summary:
Detective Harry Hole investigates the disappearance of a woman whose pink scarf is found wrapped around an ominous-looking snowman.
Come on ... Harry Hole? Is that a joke or what?
The writer was Norwegian so maybe it didn't translate well.

shareIt is so odd and ironic that in history where the fact are known
and written down, that Hollywood can never get it right. They have
to change and mess with every small thing in order to make their
movie versions of "true stories" as they call them.
But, when there is a book and something doesn't make sense, they
go straight with it. Harry Hole is a stupid name that turns off
viewers ... it's like a permanent joke at the wrong time.
"Harry Hole is a stupid name that turns off viewers"
it's less distracting than the book I read with the protagonist named Jackson Hurtung.
