The Thirst (Harry Hole, #11)

by
The Thirst is another solidly entertaining installment of the Harry Hole series. This time, a serial killer is targeting women on Tinder, killing them by biting and draining them of their blood. Harry is no longer with the police force, but he recognizes from the murders that a killer from his past is back.
This series has been so consistently compelling, and this book is no different. Each of the five books I've read so far (I started with The Snowman - #7) has been gripping and fast-paced. This time, there are a number of shifty characters. I thought I had it all figured it, but I totally didn't and the end completely surprised me. It was all great fun.
Sometimes I think: poor Harry! This guy just can't catch a break. All he wants to do is to live a normal life being a lecturer at the police academy and hanging out with his wife and kid. But murders keep dragging him back, and he always ends up mentally and physically beaten up. But I guess if he had that peaceful life, then we wouldn't have any more stories to read.
I'm definitely going to continue with this series. I only have one more to read before I run out of the new books, and then I'll have to go back to the beginning and read #1-#6 that I've skipped.

I've been really happy with this series! I think this book is fiction, but probably someone has been killed while being on a Tinder date. The online dating thing sounds rather shady to me, but maybe I'm just an old fogey haha.
Sounds like a good series I need to pick up.

Fantastic review, Yun! I agree, poor Harry needs to catch a break. Hope you continue to enjoy this series. Can't wait to see what you think of the next book!
Great review, Yun. I loved this book, too, as I have the entire Harry Hole series. Just picked up his most recent, Knife, over the weekend and hope to get to that one soon.
Excellent review Yun! Sounds like a great series! Glad you are enjoying!🤗💖

Great review. I started with The Bat and then read The Snowman. Now I'm reading them in series order.
Great review. I have only read Devils Star a long time ago and I don’t know why I haven’t read any more. It’s always the same ...so many books to read😊. Glad you enjoyed this 💕

I made the mistake of reading #1 and didn't care for it, then was told by seasoned fans that was the wrong thing to do. Unfortunately I never picked up another of his books but now I'm tempted! Great review Yun.

The author started this series so long ago that I wonder if his style must have evolved a great deal since then.
This sounds good!! Is this a series that doesn't matter on the order read?
Christy wrote: "This sounds good!! Is this a series that doesn't matter on the order read?"I've been enjoying it, Christy! I think this is best read in order, but if you don't want to start all the way at the beginning, you can try starting at #7 (The Snowman), and then going from there. That's what I did, and I don't think I've missed too much from the earlier books. :)

Perfect take on Harry Hole series, 100% agree Rosh :)
