The Thirst made me realise how much I missed Jo Nesbo and his Harry Hole. It is as good as the rest of the novels but it is important to read the other novels before since there are referrals to them. There is a new character and a dramatically impactful event with someone we know. And yes Harry falls of the vagon once again (now a staple of the series).
The only problem with this is that the reader and the novel didn't match. They are good in their own right but did not get. Mr. Lee (an excellent reader, especially fantasy genre) was too theatrical for Mr. Nesbo's edgy angst and Norwegian coolness. I think the ideal reader for this would be Campbell Scott. Anyway I still enjoyed it and finished the novel really quickly.
