Jo Nesbo

Jo 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').

Their second album topped the charts in Norway, but he 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.

He is regarded as one of the world’s leading crime writers, with The Leopard, Phantom, Police and The Son all topping the UK bestseller charts, and his novels are published in 50 languages. The new Harry Hole thriller, The Thirst, is published on April 20th 2017.

I couldnt put this book down, which is unusual in that I dont read a lot of crime books and most of the ones Ive attempted to read havent grabbed me. This is also the first Jo Nesbo book that I have read and it was a fantastic, entangled puzzle. Sonny is fascinating and troubled right from the start and Simon and Kari are thorough investigators which make them great characters. At no point did The Son slacken its pace and wanting to find out what would happen to Sony, who the Twin was and more significantly who the mole was, never waned.
