From the inside flap
In Police─the
last novel featuring Jo Nesbø’s hard-bitten, maverick Oslo detective─a killer wreaking
revenge on the police had Harry Hole fighting for the safety of the people
closest to him. Now, in The Thirst, the story continues as Harry is inextricably
drawn back into the Oslo police force. A serial murderer has begun targeting
Tinder daters─a murderer whose MO reignites Harry’s hunt for a nemesis of his
past.”
Review
Warning: possible -- if mild -- spoilers in this review.
Thirst is a mostly excellent
thriller that moves along at a breakneck pace, continuing plot threads from the
last two novels, as well as bringing in previous villains ─ Valetin Gjerten and
Svein “the Fiancé” Finne ─ to cause further mayhem. Like some of the better
Harry Hole books, it is a character-rich, intriguing and plot-pretzelesque read
until its disingenuous Thin Man-esque
Reveal scene [hint: do not leave loaded weapons lying near the bad guy you are
outing!]. This minor nit aside, this is a worthwhile entry in this long-running
series.
