's review

it was amazing

You cannot imagine how excited I was to see that Harry Hole was back! I was so sure that Jo Nesbø had decided to move on to other things after the last book but thankfully I was wrong and here is Harry called back from his quiet job as a college lecturer to chase the one who got away.
And this is not just any Harry Hole book but one that is up there with his best work. Harry has become a legend in his own life time. He is still just as flawed, still an alcoholic, still unable to completely relate to anyone but also still a brilliant detective.
This is another series that needs to be read in sequence in order to appreciate it fully. Many characters are there from previous books including Rakel and Oleg and one of the best things about this book is to see the way these people have grown and changed. The action is frequently full on and scary, interspersed with lots of interesting police work.
The ending is just brilliant and guess what! There's a strong indication on the very last page that there has to be another book.

Carolyn Great review Phrynne1 Must get back to this series so I can catch up :)


Kristina (Bold BookNerd) Phrynne, do I have to read the whole series first before this book? Or would it be okay to read this one on its own?


Phrynne You could read it on its own but reading the whole series is much better:)


Cecilia Noon I pre ordered Thirst when I first learned Harry Hole is back! I can't wait. But even more excited about Snowman being in theaters in October of this year!!!


Phrynne That might be good Cecilia although I am always wary of movies made from books:)
