It starts with Harry Hole drinking himself to death in Los Angles, only to have a good reason to return home, and to sober up enough (to solve the case) after a couple of chapters. THE HUNT IS ON AND THE POLICE ARE RUNNING OUT OF TIME. Two young women are missing, their only connection a party they both attended, hosted by a notorious real-estate magnate. When one of the women is found murdered, the police discover an unusual signature left by the killer, giving them reason to suspect he will strike again. A battered hero, a memorably creepy villain, a series of false endings worthy of Jeffery Deaver: What’s not to love?” Killing Moon is a magnificent concoction. It is beyond fantastic and is one of the greatest crime novels I have ever read. And I have read thousands.” I have seen where Stephen King sits when he is writing and it is exactly the same. He has this big house and he goes into this small room that looks like a closet and he can write there.
Jo says: “At the end of the last novel Harry was obviously in bad shape; he had lost the love of his life and he is at the airport rolling a dice, and letting the dice decide where to go next because he has to leave Oslo and escape. Through palpable tension balanced with glimmers of hope, Hoover beautifully captures the heartbreak and joy of starting over.One of my two grumbles are that the ending stretches credibility so much that I defy you to not think "Oh for God's sake." It's possible to enjoy the denouement, because at least one newspaper review I read loved it, but to me it was... just silly.
This is one of the darkest entries in the series, with a serial killer whose methods are inventively macabre even by Nesbo's standards. But with Harry in the unfamiliar role of private eye, assembling an eccentric team to help him, and rubbing his old police colleagues up the wrong way, it's also one of the most fun Daily Express He'll need to bring together a misfit team of former operatives to do what he can't do alone: stop an unstoppable killer. But as the evidence mounts, it becomes clear that there is more to this case than meets the eye... With Harry in the unfamiliar role of private eye, assembling an eccentric team to help him, and rubbing his old police colleagues up the wrong way, it's one of the most fun [books in the Harry Hole series]' Daily Express He almost closed his eyes and squeezed his fingers around the credit card, so his hand formed a chisel.
Killing Moon Book Tour
Jo Nesbo is an author who strives for originality when it comes to setting up a climax, and in Killing Moon he delivers a belter during a late summer lunar eclipse over Oslo. There are multiple paths of peril for the characters, and just when you think everything has become clear, the ground shifts. I didn’t figure out who the killer was, although you’re likely cleverer than I am and might well do so early on. Finally, there’s a thread in this novel that strongly suggests a 14th book is on the way – here’s hoping it won’t take four years to materialise! Not just an unbearably tense thriller but another of Nesbo's studies in love and loneliness... there are few greater crime writers The Times, Crime Book of the Month But Harry carried on walking towards him. Became aware he was still holding the credit card in his right hand. Was this how it ended? In a dusty parking lot in a foreign country, bathed in sunlight, broke, and half drunk, while trying to do what he hadn’t been able to do for his mother, hadn’t been able to do for any of those he’d ever cared about? He has found this bar in Laurel Canyon. He’s drawn to this place because of the music tradition there. He finds a bar close to the home of Frank Zappa and is about to successfully complete his plan when something happens. We know who the killer is; he calls himself, “Prim”; he has his own point of view in the novel. Eventually both of the girls’ bodies are found and Markus Roed’s wife is also murdered. This guy really hates Roed and wants to frame him. Later we find out why.
What happened during the pandemic was that I learnt to write at home. Up until then it was the only place I couldn’t write. But Harry has ulterior motives for wanting to solve this case and, if he fails, there could be more than one life at risk.Anyway, later on Nesbo sets up a sequence where three women are being entertained by their boyfriend: Katrine, Alexandra, and another girl who works at a convenience store or something. Prim is about to pop the question. He’s not the type to take it well if he’s turned down. With Harry in the unfamiliar role of private eye, assembling an eccentric team to help him, and rubbing his old police colleagues up the wrong way, it's one of the most fun [books in the Harry Hole series] ' Daily Express What’s more likely, I think, is that after writing thirteen books with more than 55 million copies sold, Nesbo (a former economist) has identified a formula that sells. So we get the brutal scalping of a young girl, which is going to be solved by an alcoholic mess of a detective who somehow scrapes his ugly face off the bar to magically solve a crime because, despite all evidence to the contrary, he’s still a genius. It’s the formula.
Two young women are missing. Strangers to each other, but last seen at the same party. When the body of one of them is found with fresh stitches along her hairline the hunt is on to find a murderer with very particular tastes. A book begging to be read on the beach, with the sun warming the sand and salt in the air: pure escapism. The case is a baffling one with all sorts of strange dimensions to it. The body of one of the young women is found and the mutilation suggests she was the victim of a serial killer. She’s half naked, her brain has been removed, there are no forensic traces to go on… Katrine Bratt and her team begin working with Sung-min Larsen of the national crime agency, Kripos. She wishes Harry were on board but as he’s joined the dark side by working for Røed the police hierarchy are not impressed. However, Harry is certain that Røed has a great deal to hide. He wrote his first Harry Hole novel, The Bat, in Australia while taking a break from work and this was published in Norway in 1997. But it wasn’t until 2005 that he was finally published in the UK, when the fifth Hole book, The Devil’s Star, was released, just as the popularity of Nordic Noir soared after the success of Stieg Larsson’s The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.

He expected to observe a conversation between the two. But instead the man took a step forward and grabbed hold of Lucille’s arm. Began pulling her towards the Camaro. Harry saw the heels of her shoes dig into the gravel. And now he also saw that the Camaro didn’t have American number plates. In that instant he was off the bar stool. Running towards the door, he burst it open with his elbow, was blinded by sunlight and almost stumbled on the two steps down from the porch. Realised he was far from sober. Then zeroed in on the two cars. His eyes gradually adjusting to the light. Beyond the parking lot, on the other side of the road winding its way up the green hillside, lay a sleepy general store, but he couldn’t see any other people apart from the man and Lucille, who was being dragged towards the Camaro. Nesbo is one of today's most interesting thriller writers, a 100% buy-today-read-tonight delight' LEE CHILD 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.
