The Thirst

A Harry Hole Novel

By: Jo Nesbo, Neil Smith - translator

Narrated by: John Lee

#1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER • Jo Nesbø’s Detective Hole is now streaming on Netflix • In this electrifying thriller, Inspector Harry Hole hunts down a serial murderer who targets his victims—on Tinder. • Part of the New York Times bestselling series.

The murder victim, a self-declared Tinder addict. The one solid clue—fragments of rust and paint in her wounds—leaves the investigating team baffled.

Two days later, there’s a second murder: a woman of the same age, a Tinder user, an eerily similar scene.

The chief of police knows there’s only one man for this case. But Harry Hole is no longer with the force. He promised the woman he loves, and he promised himself, that he’d never go back: not after his last case, which put the people closest to him in grave danger.

But there’s something about these murders that catches his attention, something in the details that the investigators have missed. For Harry, it’s like hearing “the voice of a man he was trying not to remember.” Now, despite his promises, despite everything he risks, Harry throws himself back into the hunt for a figure who haunts him, the monster who got away.

Jo Nesbo delivers again!

Another really good Nordic Noir with our favorite happy warrrior, Harry Hole, Nesbo manages to recycle an old nemisis for more murder and mayhem. Read it, you'll like it!

John Lee & Jo Nesbø match made in heaven

Superb story and narration, as per usual. Harry's back with no signs of slowing down. With a series this long you'd sometimes expect a flop. Thankfully this isn't the case and Jo Nesbø continues to regin supreme. John Lees performance is top notch.

The best of Harry Hole

Develops slowly, tosses you around from suspect to suspect. At the end you see the twist coming but you don’t care, it’s beautifully built and there is a nice, fun, final surprise.

Not his best

Nesbo is getting predictable and repetitive. The crimes are getting even more gross which seems impossible but true. Still, I love his group of familiar characters.

another hit by jo nesbo!!

this novel kept us totally engaged during our 4 day road trip!!!Harry Hole saves the day once more.
