Book Review: THE THIRST by Jo Nesbo
Nordic Noir’s reigning king is back. THE THIRST is everything readers have come to love and expect from Nesbo: it’s gritty, brooding, violent, and just plain addictive. Readers new to the Harry Hole series will love this story for its gripping case and brilliant plotting; longtime fans of Nesbo’s books will feel as though they’ve come home to long-lost friends. It might only be April, but I’m already calling it: Nesbo has written my favorite book of 2017.
