*DETECTIVE HOLE IS SOON TO BE A MAJOR NETFLIX SERIES*

Harry Hole returns in a pulse-pounding thriller like no other.


'This book had my pulse in the red zone from start to finish' Michael Connelly

A freezing December night.

Christmas shoppers have gathered to listen to a Salvation Army carol concert. Then a shot rings out and one of the singers falls to the floor, dead.

A blood-curdling terror.

Detective Harry Hole and his team are called in to investigate but have little to work with - there is no immediate suspect, no weapon and no motive. But when the assassin discovers he's shot the wrong man, Harry finds his troubles have only just begun.

Now the clock is ticking before he kills again.

'Nesbo is in a class of his own' Evening Standard

'Terrific shocks, tension and atmosphere' The Times

'Even when you're positive that the mystery is entirely done and dusted, it invariably turns out that the pragmatic Detective Harry Hole has managed to stay three steps ahead and there's more to uncover' Time Out

Critic reviews

The Redeemer rocks! Jo Nesbø is my new favorite thriller writer and Harry Hole my new hero. This book had my pulse in the red zone from start to finish. (Michael Connelly)
Nesbo's fourth novel [and it] proves to be as brilliant as his other three...grimly realistic...an engrossing mystery
All stars

This was my first Jo Nesbo but it won't be my last. Yes it was slow to start with, and the parallel plot lines with characters carry out the same actions with hardly a pause in the narration during the early stages of the book was somewhat confusing until I discovered what was going on. But once I was into the story it was a fascinating plot, with numerous twists turns and surprises. Rather akin tot he old fashioned 'who dunnit' I think that all the clues are in you story for the reader/listener to work out who did what and to whom! Needless to say I didn't manage to piece together all the clues, Very well narrated with excellent characterisation I thoroughly recommend this book.

Interestingly my wife read the book whilst I listened to it, and I have to admit that it was useful to have the printed version to hand for reference, although perhaps Audible would not wish to hear that! Still it led to some interesting meal time conversations between us over the plot lines.

Brilliant

This was the first J Nesbo audiobook that I've listened to and I was not disappointed!. The narration from Sean Barrett is spot on. Although I didn't expect the story to start with the rape of a fourteen year old girl that takes place at a Salvation Army summer camp in Norway nor the ending of the book, its a rollercoaster of a ride in between.

Couldn't Stop listening from the start to the end!
