Police

A Harry Hole Novel

De: Jo Nesbo, Don Bartlett - translator

Narrado por: John Lee

INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER • Jo Nesbø’s Detective Hole is coming soon to Netflix • 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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“A dizzyingly taut feat of storytelling.” —The Boston Globe

"An invigorating must-read." —Newsweek

“The chills are palpable in this nerve-­racking thriller.” —The New York Times Book Review

“A hugely enjoyable game of cat-and-mouse.... Nesbo manages the book’s unnervingly scary scenes so well he should consider tackling a horror novel.” —Richmond Times Dispatch

“Scandinavian crime thrillers don’t come much darker or more tense than the best-selling Harry Hole series, and this tenth outing for the Norwegian detective is the best yet.” —Sunday Mirror (UK)

“Nesbø's dark and gripping crime series featuring the Oslo detective Harry Hole [is] fascinating readers with its ever-deepening portrait, Breaking Bad–style, of a hero's gradual transition to an antihero.” —Chicago Tribune

“So dark, intense, and bone chilling that immersion in [Nesbø’s] world for an extended period is not for the sensitive.” —Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

“A multi-layered and intertwining story that makes your head spin, while delivering a masterclass in suspenseful writing.... Simply sit back and enjoy every twist and turn.” —Sunday Express (UK)

“An electrifying ride.... A master of suspense, red herrings and false trails, as well as a mesmerizing storyteller. Nesbø is in a league of his own.” —The Sydney Morning Herald

“Plot twists worthy of a möbius strip.” —Bloomberg News

“Attempts at work and sleep [are] futile until it is finished.” —The Daily Telegraph

Not the usual Harry Hole :-(

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Yes. He should have written a Harry Hole book!

If you’ve listened to books by Jo Nesbø before, how does this one compare?

Harry Hole was missing in action most of the time.

Did John Lee do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

Okay.

Could you see Police being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

No. Not this book.

Any additional comments?

I was surprised at this book. I think he just wrote it as a filler for the money. It's like he didn't take the time. If he's going to put the Harry Hole brand on it, then let him write a Harry Hole novel.

Narrator good but I miss Robin!

Great book. I was really disappointed that Robin isn't narrating the books anymore. still good.

"Police" is 5 stars and then some!

Would you listen to Police again? Why?

All of the Harry Hole books are 5 star -- but this one tops them all. I highly recommend this entire series -- if you start in the middle of the series, say # 5, you will go back to #1 because you don't want to miss out on each of these terrific stories.

Never Disappointed

Jo Nesbo delivered another masterpiece. The narrator Lee is perfect because he didn't miss a beat. Best storyteller ever, kept my attention from the start to finish. I want more of detective Hole. Brilliant!!!

tense storytelling with a lot of red herrings

Thrilling and well-plotted storytelling but certain improbabilities mar the novel and there is a lot of needlessly gross violence
