Killing Moon by Jo Nesbo

Killing Moon by Jo Nesbø is the thirteenth instalment in the Harry Hole series. In this gripping crime thriller, brilliant rogue police investigator Harry Hole returns. Two young women are missing, their only connection being that they attended the same party, hosted by a notorious businessman. When one of the women is found murdered, the police discover an unusual signature left by the killer, giving them reason to suspect he will strike again. They're facing a killer unlike any other, and catching him calls for a detective like no other…

The novel combines ticking-clock urgency with vivid character dynamics, making it a lively and stimulating read. At 490 pages, it’s shorter than some of Nesbø’s other works, maintaining a perfect simmering pace. The plot reveals red herrings, scary science, and graphic descriptions of the killer’s brutality, which may be distressing for sensitive readers but fans of the Harry Hole series will revel in the return of their favourite detective!
