*DETECTIVE HOLE IS SOON TO BE A MAJOR NETFLIX SERIES*
*A SUNDAY TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR*
THIS KILLER WILL GET INSIDE YOUR HEAD...

When a body is found in the forest, the police make a horrifying discovery: her scalp has been removed and sewn back on. But they have no idea why.

With a second woman reported missing, detectives fear their worst nightmare has come true.

A serial killer is stalking the streets of Oslo.

With time running out to find the woman, former detective Harry Hole is called in to think like a murderer thinks... and to track down this killer before they strike again.

But Harry has ulterior motives for wanting to solve this case and, if he fails, there could be more than one life at risk.

Critic reviews

Not just an unbearably tense thriller but another of Nesbo's studies in love and loneliness... there are few greater crime writers
Nesbo deserves to be crowned the king of all crime thriller writers
Nesbo deploys all the key ingredients of a cracking good thriller...the ticking clock, the tension expertly ratcheted ever upwards, the changing scenery, the constantly shifting goalposts and the effortless, triumphant outpacing of the reader's ability to guess what's going to happen
The undisputed king of Scandinavian crime fiction
Jo Nesbø is one of today's most interesting thriller writers, and Harry Hole is an all-time great character - for me, a 100% buy-today-read-tonight delight.
Nesbo is unassailably the reigning king of Nordic noir as well as a global crime-writing superstar... [in] Killing Moon...Nesbo is back on gruesome form
Jo Nesbo is back with the weirdest murder in modern fiction... compelling
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
Killing Moon... [is] classic Nesbo but even by his standards the killer's creepy'
Breathtaking... Harry Hole returns in cracking form
All stars

Good page turner. Several good twists. You think it is solved on 3 different occasions but its never that straight forward

Loved every second of this latest instalment of Harry life. The past couple of books have been 8 out of 10 but this one is a solid 10 out if 10. The twists and turns had me guessing right up to the last minute and Sean Barrett’s excellent narration is superb, he really brings the characters to life. This is a must read

Listening to Killing Moon so long after The Knife was like going back to a familiar holiday destination. I’ve never been to Oslo but I feel like I know it inside out after listening to these books. Harry’s back and in another great story!

Love this series

I enjoyed listening to this book. It’s a bit slow moving and a lot of it very predictable, but a good read nevertheless. I recommend it

Good but not as good as his others

Another amazing story about harry and it’s my first audible purchase in this series which I would definitely recommend. Jo Nesbo is one of my favourite authors and I sincerely hope that there’s another instalment as I don’t seem to get bored of them the way I do with other series by other writers. Can’t wait for the next chapter.

Brilliantly crafted
