Resumen del Editor

After the brutal homicide of a woman, the Oslo Police Force know exactly whom to call: brilliant and unorthodox police investigator Harry Hole. When he suspects a link with one of his cold cases, it's a race against time to catch the elusive killer.

There's a new killer on the streets.

A woman is found murdered after an Internet date. The marks left on her body show the police that they are dealing with a particularly vicious killer.

He's in your house.... He's in your room....

Under pressure from the media to find the murderer, the force know there's only one man for the job. But Harry Hole is reluctant to return to the place that almost took everything from him. Until he starts to suspect a connection between this killing and his one failed case.

He's out for blood....

When another victim is found, Harry realises he will need to put everything on the line if he's to finally catch the one who got away.

Splendid and exiting

holly cracp!!! í could not stop. this book kept me stuck from the begining until the end. Amasing peas of work.

Dark side of the thirst.

What made the experience of listening to The Thirst the most enjoyable?

There are many twists and turns, as you would expect from a Jo Nesbo novel. they don't always work. In this Novel they do. There is an abundance of psychological investigation which keeps the reader stimulated, whether true or not is neither here nor there. As usual there the obligatory references to music and literature. Haruki Murakami gets a mention which is pleasing as he is also one author I most admire. Pink Floyd are given special treatment. For this alone the novel geserves five stars.

What did you like best about this story?

Everything. I listened in two sittings. It helps when a novel is basically based upon the entire work of British Rock band Pink Floyd.

What does Sean Barrett bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

He is one of the best readers there is available. He is Harry!

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

You are going to pay me for the tag line? Someone else can do their job.

Any additional comments?

Just listen. It will be the best Crime tnovel this year. Although the recent Philip kerr addition was very good.

A bit too drawn out, but still a great listen.

I feel the overall story could have been more concise. This would have made it wonderfully thrilling and not just mediocre thrilling. However,Jo Nesbo has done it again and I still recommend this novel.

I had tears in my eyes in parts near the end,caused by knowing the history behind the characters.

Sean Barrett as wonderful as ever.

Better than ever

What made the experience of listening to The Thirst the most enjoyable?

Having waited a while for a new Jo Nesbo audiobook, I was not sure if it would be as good as previous books. I loved the detail, the imperfections and the humanity of the characters

What did you like best about this story?

I suppose its the underlying qualities. On the surface it is a thriller, but under it, its about people and what makes us human.

What about Sean Barrett’s performance did you like?

He is one of my favourite narrators. He combines a very relaxed and laconic approach with a sense of drama.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The young girl Marta

Any additional comments?

I have looked online and found out some info about the way Jo Nesbo writes and find him an inspiration as a writer, and find his books very believable

Great narrator

Narrator is great. Not Nesbo's best work but nice. Twist is a bit predictable. Love the atmosphere.

High quality from start to finish

Both the narration and the story line are of the highest quality- I recommend all thriller lovers to try Jo Nesbo if not done so already

Crap narration

As a truck driver, having a narrator that u can hear is crucial.
This guy talks thru a sock!
Make sure ur in a soundproof room before buying this book.
Also, why is Harry Hole now Harry hulay???
