Fast-moving...stunning Sunday Times
[The Thirst is] a breath-taking reading experience... Nesbo is the master when it comes to building a long and increasingly steep dramatic curve... The pace in The Thirst is somewhat calmer than in the previous Harry Hole books, more of a waltz than a rock and roll, until we're a bit more than halfway through. But from there on, it's full on action with blood gushing and splattering until the last page is turned Verdens Gang, Norway
The Thirst like its stablemates is a bulky but zippy 500-pager which never loiters in one place for long. Nesbø keeps you guessing with his usual bag of tricks, making everyone seem a little suspect (or almost everyone). His cynicism about bent coppers and unscrupulous journalists is an inexhaustible and entertaining sideshow...if you liked the other ten, you'll greedily sink your teeth into this Arts Desk
Jo Nesbo is on top form... [The Thirst is] a spell-binding story about brutal crimes and ambitions gone astray Dagbladet, Norway
One cannot but rejoice at this reunion with Jo Nesbo's Harry Hole Krimifan.dk, Denmark
Everything that others do, Jo Nesbo can do better... When it seems as though everything is about to be resolved in [The Thirst], most other writers would be satisfied with their work. With Jo Nesbo, the ride will still go on for 150 more pages Dagsavisen, Norway
The Thirst combines the best of American and Nordic crime fiction... Harry Hole is a criminal investigator with a steady salary and civil servant status. But he's also made of mythological hero material Jyllands-Posten, Denmark
Nesbo’s 11th Harry Hole novel is predictably excellent… It’s crime fiction as precision-tooled instrument of entertainment and on that level, it rocks Metro
What distinguishes Jo Nesbo...is his wry sense of humour. He not only provides a super-complex plot with plenty of twists...but also skillfully continues the lives of the all-too-fallible characters we have grown to love and hate Evening Standard
Jo Nesbo (Author)Jo Nesbo is one of the world's bestselling crime writers, with The Leopard, Phantom, Police, The Son, The Thirst, Macbeth and Knife all topping the Sunday Times bestseller charts. He's an international number one bestseller and his books are published in 50 languages, selling over 50 million copies around the world.Before becoming a crime writer, Nesbo played football for Norway's premier league team Molde, but his dream of playing professionally for Spurs was dashed when he tore ligaments in his knee at the age of eighteen. After three years military service he attended business school and formed the band Di Derre ('Them There'). They topped the charts in Norway, but Nesbo continued working as a financial analyst, crunching numbers during the day and gigging at night. When commissioned by a publisher to write a memoir about life on the road with his band, he instead came up with the plot for his first Harry Hole crime novel, The Bat.Sign up to the Jo Nesbo newsletter for all the latest news- jonesbo.com/newsletterNeil Smith (Translator)NEIL SMITH is a French to English translator who lives in Montreal.
