[The Thirst is] a breath-taking reading experience ... Nesbo is the master when it comes to building a long and increasingly steep dramatic curve...The pace in The Thirst is somewhat calmer than in the previous Harry Hole books, more of a waltz than a rock and roll, until we're a bit more than halfway through. But from there on, it's full on action with blood gushing and splattering until the last page is turned. Verdens Gang, Norway Jo Nesbo is on top form...[The Thirst is] a spell-binding story about brutal crimes and ambitions gone astray. Dagbladet, Norway One cannot but rejoice at this reunion with Jo Nesbo's Harry Hole. Krimifan.dk, Denmark Everything that others do, Jo Nesbo can do better ...

Dagsavisen, Norway The Thirst combines the best of American and Nordic crime fiction ... Harry Hole is a criminal investigator with a steady salary and civil servant status. But he's also made of mythological hero material. Jyllands-Posten, Denmark
