Headhunters

De: Jo Nesbo, Don Bartlett - translator

Narrado por: Steve West

INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER • From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Cockroaches comes a funny, dark, and twisted caper worthy of Quentin Tarantino and the Coen brothers—about an aspiring art thief and the target who’s about to destroy his life.

“If you don’t know Nesbø, it’s time to get with it.” —USA Today

Roger Brown is a corporate headhunter, and he’s a master of his profession. But one career simply can’t support his luxurious lifestyle and his wife’s fledgling art gallery. At an art opening one night he meets Clas Greve, who is not only the perfect candidate for a major CEO job, but also, perhaps, the answer to his financial woes: Greve just so happens to mention that he owns a priceless Peter Paul Rubens painting that’s been lost since World War II—and Roger Brown just so happens to dabble in art theft. But when he breaks into Greve’s apartment, he finds more than just the painting. And Clas Greve may turn out to be the worst thing that’s ever happened to Roger Brown.

Glue these pages to the inside cover of my coffin

OK I'm a wanton whore to Nesbo and Harry Hole...
and I am not disappointed in this offering... Nesbo crafts the intricacies of these things so well that you'd think he was a locksmith in stead of an author... tick, tick, tick, tick.

Exciting, well written suspense novel

What did you like best about this story?

Main chraracter is typical for Jo Nesbo: flawed and hardly the leading man type so common in stories of this genre.

Entertaining

When you’re unsure of what to read next and all the usual options have no appeal, it might be time for Nesbo. A pretty good story with excellent narration.

This is a great book

The narrator talks intimately into your ear. You feel as if he is telling a story and speaking only to you. An unusual audio style that's a little disconcerting initially...I wasn't quite sure I was going to continue. But then the story started happening so seductively...so subtlety.. with clever and alluring dialogue that sucks you in and before you know what's happening,you are hooked.

It is not a Harry Hole book, this is something quite different. The story is fascinating and unexpected......don't think for a moment you know where it is going. Pay attention!! it will be worth it.

not what I was expecting but IT WAS WONDERFUL

Great story- was never sure where it was going until .... Another fabulous Nordic mystery even if not Harry Hole.
Jo Nesbo demonstrated that there is far more to his craft that Harry Hole (and I love the series); the characters were more sophisticated, with a plot line that makes unexpected and dark twists and turns. Building the story from the subtle skills of the good headhunters was a unique approach to developing a gripping and sometimes grisly story.
Loved that the narrator seemed to be able to capture the main character's ego and sense of superiority, adding depth to the novel.
Highly recommend - I may listen to this one again!
