*DETECTIVE HOLE IS SOON TO BE A MAJOR NETFLIX SERIES*

In the depths of winter a killer stalks the city streets. Two women are found drowned in their own blood. A third woman is hanged from a diving board.

YOU ARE ALLOWING THIS KILLING TO GO ON.

The crime scenes offer no clues, the media is reaching fever pitch, and the police are running out of options.

IT'S TIME THIS WAS STOPPED...

There is only one man who can help them catch the killer. But Inspector Harry Hole doesn't want to be found.

...BECAUSE I HAVE APPOINTED THE NEXT VICTIM.

If you could sum up The Leopard: A Harry Hole Thriller, Book 8 in three words, what would they be?

My favourite Harry novel so far, tense, dark, gripping - a real page turner

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Leopard: A Harry Hole Thriller, Book 8?

Its always difficult to give a best moment without spoiling the plot. As it goes there are a lot of memorable moments to choose from.

What does Sean Barrett bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

I really couldn't bring life to each character like Sean Barrett does, Id be too busy trying (and failing) pronounce the names and places - in short, Barrett IS Harry!

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

It took me two days!

Harry at his best

Another well narrated story from the incredible wordsmith. Never dull or cliché, Jo Nesbo never fails to surprise and delight.

Superb

This story, as well as other Jo Nesbo`s books about Harry Hole, will become your obsession. Firstly the figure of the detective is so much realistic. He will become very close to you. I do not like smokers but Harry Hole is an exception, I am very critical to alcoholics but his dedication to Jim Beam is ok for me. It is the way how Jo Nesbo is able to provide the story and OF COURSE the incredibly good interpretation of Sean Barrett. Voice in my head that makes me listening and listening.

Jo Nesbo and Sean Barret / very good combintion

Just when you think Nesbo can't surprise you again, bang.
The translation, including interpretation of the different dialects from Norway to England is intelligent and masterful. Sean Barrett is awesome!

A roller coaster
