Publisher's summary

INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER • In this “invigorating must-read” installment (Newsweek) of the New York Times bestselling series, Inspector Harry Hole investigates a serial killer targeting Oslo’s police officers.

For years, detective Harry Hole has been at the center of every major criminal investigation in Oslo. His brilliant insights and dedication to his job have saved countless lives over the years. But as the killer grows increasingly bold and the media reaction increasingly hysterical, the detective is nowhere to be found. This time, when those he loves and values most are facing terrible danger, Harry is in no position to protect anyone—least of all himself.

Don't miss Jo Nesbo's latest Harry Hole thriller, Killing Moon!

Great , but a bit much on the bait and switch

This addition to the series advances the story of Harry Hole significantly. It is cleverly plotted and magnificently narrated. However Mr. Nesbo has fallen in love with bait and switch tactics in his writing. By the end of the book most readers will probably no longer take the bait. However it is still a great book!

performance is great, book is trash

laziest writing I've encountered in a while. like Nesbø found out about unreliable narrators but missed some key mechanics about how to do it. unreliable narrators shouldn't lie to themselves. or that an entire church full of people shouldn't conspire to lie about why they're at church for no damn reason.

Where's Harry

When I began reading this book I thought maybe the mystery was what ever happened to Harry. But he does show up and the action and plot twists get started. Whew, what a relief! I love Harry.

Terrific Thriller

This one kept me up for three nights. Twists and turns all wrapped up in a satisfying conclusion. I really felt the characters were well developed. Hoping Harry Hole will appear again for more intrigue.

Good

Unfortunately, I compare books to other books and that's not fair. I enjoyed this book, however, I want more thrill and frankly great books are rare. I'm glad I bought and listened to this and will continue to read and listen to Jo Nesbo.

Possibly his best

Police and The Leopard are Nesbo’s best. I miss Robin Sachs but after getting used to John Lee’s voice I enjoyed quite much.
