Harry is in a bad place: Rakel has left him, he's working cold cases and notorious murderer Svein Finne is back on the streets.

THE FIRST KILLER HARRY PUT BEHIND BARS IS OUT TO GET HIM.

Harry is responsible for the many years Finne spent in prison but now he's free and ready to pick up where he left off.

When Harry wakes up with blood on his hands, and no memory of what he did the night before, he knows everything is only going to get worse...

Another amazing story but a horrible Narrater

The story is fantastic.

But I was not able to listen to this because of the Narrater. Difficult to understand with the heavy accent and unclear articulation. I ended up reading the book instead.

One of the best yet

Thoroughly enjoyable. Nesbo thankfully plays fewer tricks on the reader than in Police but keeps it twisty and complex. My dad says this is the best book of the whole series, I’d be close to agreeing. Sean Barrett is superb as ever.

It’s a formula… but one that really works

Fantastic followup to the previous work.

Highly recommended.
Not much more to say but get some!

The twist in the actual culprit.

The suspense was epic. I had a love-hate relationship with many of the characters throughout the book. The cliff-hanger of what comes next has me on the edge. It’s Well written and another great voice performance.

Nesbo Did it again! Thank you!

This is time it is really personal ! And that is why the story flows differently. It takes quite a lot of pages to get the best out of Harry’s detective mind, but last 3 hours are breathtaking ! During my runs listening to this book I laughed, screamed and cried. U R welcomed to do the same...

Harry (or Jo Nesbo ') runs out of steam..

An unduly complex and rarely convincing additional chapter of Harry's investigative and personal life (the two plans are so intersperced that one cannot loger separate them). There is very little (other than the usual self-loathing) driving the main character and Nesbo needs to up the ante to give momentum to his work by making people very close to Harry victims of the crimes that Harry will eventually investigate. Lots of personal drama, but lack of fluidity in the plot and clarity in the narrative.
All in all, a major disappointment for an old fan of Harry Hole like me.
