Summary

Random House presents the unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of The Thirst by Jo Nesbo, ready by Sean Barrett.

HARRY HOLE IS BACK! A BLISTERING NEW THRILLER FROM THE NUMBER 1 BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE SNOWMAN AND POLICE.

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.

'An expertly plotted, compelling and gripping white-knuckle ride... Nesbo deserves to be crowned the king of all crime thriller writers' Sunday Express on THE SON

'Nesbo deploys all the key ingredients of a cracking good thriller with expertise and verve. The ticking clock, the tension expertly ratcheted ever upwards, the changing scenery, the constantly shifting goalposts and the effortless, triumphant outpacing of the reader's ability to guess what's going to happen will keep you gripped to the last page' Guardian on THE LEOPARD

'The undisputed king of Scandinavian crime fiction' The Times

'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 on POLICE

Jo Nesbo was a Sunday Times number one bestseller with Macbeth on 20/09/2018

Harry at his very best

Would you listen to The Thirst again? Why?

Yes. The complexity and labyrinthine plots within a plot make for a very interesting and colourful story

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Thirst?

From beginning to end there are moments of tension, far too many to select just one.

Which character – as performed by Sean Barrett – was your favourite?

Harry of course. Sean Barrett has done credit to a well-crafted story.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I did and it was well worth it. Carrying earphones around for hours, being in another Harry world

Any additional comments?

Sit, hear and be Harry. Simple, but what a dangerous commitment.

Best Harry Hole book yet!

I loved this book. I hope it's not the last one. All the books in the series are addictive. I'll just have to start again with the Bat!
