INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER • Jo Nesbø’s Detective Hole is now streaming on Netflix • Brilliant, audaciously rogue police officer Harry Hole is back and in the throes of a new, unanticipated rage in this installment of the New York Times bestselling series—once again hunting the murderer who has haunted his entire career.

“I can’t think of anyone who makes my skin crawl like Nesbo.”—The New York Times Book Review

Harry Hole is not in a good place. Rakel—the only woman he's ever loved—has ended it with him, permanently. He's been given a chance for a new start with the Oslo Police but it's in the cold case office, when what he really wants is to be investigating cases he suspects have ties to Svein Finne, the serial rapist and murderer who Harry helped put behind bars. And now, Finne is free after a decade-plus in prison—free, and Harry is certain, unreformed and ready to take up where he left off. But things will get worse. When Harry wakes up the morning after a blackout, drunken night with blood that's clearly not his own on his hands, it's only the very beginning of what will be a waking nightmare the likes of which even he could never have imagined.

A satisfying read and a well written crime novel. Very good story, masterfully told, intriguing and suspenseful with flesh and blood real life characters. Nesbo's characters share his love for recorded music and pop music trivia, so the story is speckled with humour and pop music and culture references, all while maintaining a high tempo storyline and lots of twists and turns, with prose that is always as sharp as a knife. Forget about crime fiction, Jo Nesbo is one of the best contemporary writers in all of fiction. This is real entertainment.

Harry Hole lives...or does he?

Takes a bit of determination to keep listening initially, but very soon completely worth the patience. An interesting premise, good final twist, and lots of interest in between.
Highly recommended, as are all the Harrys, at least for me.

A dandy Harry, as always

"The Knife" is by far the best yet of the Harry Hole series. This book has shot Nesbo to the top of the class in Scandinavian Noir.

Best yet from Jo Nesbo

Absolutely love jo listened to every enjoyable minute. I was so looking forward to this new book. I just couldn’t get into it, dumped it half way through, seemed so repetitious,harry drunk getting fired working alone. Sorry I so wanted to enjoy this book, maybe later.

Dissappointed

Harry Hole is becoming a tiresome drunk.
It’s very hard to believe he’s a chick magnet.
Definitely not one of Nesbo’s best books.
Boring narration adds to the dismal atmosphere.

Convoluted plot, monotonous narration
