*DETECTIVE HOLE IS NOW A MAJOR NETFLIX SERIES**

Discover the addictive first book in the bestselling Harry Hole series.

Harry is out of his depth.

Detective Harry Hole is meant to keep out of trouble. A young Norwegian girl taking a gap year in Sydney has been murdered, and Harry has been sent to Australia to assist in any way he can.

He's not supposed to get too involved.

When the team unearths a string of unsolved murders and disappearances, nothing will stop Harry from finding out the truth. The hunt for a serial killer is on, but the murderer will talk only to Harry.

He might be the next victim.

Recensies van critici

A fascinating book, filling in the gaps in Hole’s biography and telling the story of the murder case in Australia that cemented his reputation as a brilliant investigator... A stunning opening to the series
Meaty, big and bloody, this is the rock and roll of detective fiction
Nesbo is a terrific writer who knows how to build a story, taking you slowly to the top of a rollercoaster before sending you hurtling towards a solution that you never see coming
Harry Hole is fully formed as the difficult, vulnerable personality we have come to know. The evocation of Australia itself has the customary Nesbo expertise...most satisfyingly - we can now see the organic shape that Nesbo always intended his work to take
Whether a hardened Hole addict or a first-time imbiber, The Bat is sure to snare your interest with its tale of this booze-fuelled policeman
A searing read from a chilling thriller writer
Hole is a spiky character and this is the first novel to feature him. If you want to get to know this brilliant, flawed character, this is the best place to start (William Leith)
An ambitious, fun, exciting and original crime novel
The Bat is a truly captivating crime novel
The Bat is innovative and different, and the pace that Jo Nesbo creates in his debut novel makes you long for more crime novels featuring Harry Hole

I enjoyed the 1st half of the book more than the second half. The last few chapters seemed rushed and the story line began to be less detailed, especially Harry's feelings when finding his girlfriend.

Good read but disappointing ending

The story is well written and very engaging – it flows nicely and is easy to follow as an audiobook. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the way the characters are introduced.

What bothered me a little is the ending. Everything unfolds very quickly, almost too fast, and it leaves quite a lot open to interpretation. For me, that felt like a missed opportunity, because some questions remain unanswered. For example – did Inspector Harry Hole actually manage to save Birgitta? I understand this might be part of the author’s style, leaving things open-ended and letting the reader fill in the blanks, but I personally would have preferred at least some clearer hint.

As it stands, the ending felt a bit rushed – suddenly the inspector is parachuting, and I was left wishing for a more satisfying closure.

Hit hit but also some misses

The book is superbly written by someone who obviously enjoys writing. It moves at the right pace and the reader is treated like an adult.. nothing is "hammered home" and the thoughts and actions of the lead character are understandable.

The description of some characters and many scenes are extremely well done. One can often imagine the scenes very vividly. There is no excess violence or unnecessary gore.

The reader is fantastic. He is very well suited to the story and the characters. Particularly the explanations by aboriginal characters make you feel as if you are sitting next to an old friend.

I like Simon Beckett and Michael Connnelly, but this book beats them all.

The reader speaks clearly enough so that I can also recommend it to non native speakers.

Das erste Buch ist ein wirkliches Meisterwerk! Jo Nesbø hält immer noch sein hohes Niveau, aber dieses Debut ist fantastisch erzählt!

Harry Holes Debut

The Bat war mein erstes (Hör-)Buch von Jo Nesbo. Ich habe eigentlich viel mehr erwartet, zu keinem Zeitpunkt kam richtige Spannung auf. Einzig Harry Cole als Hauptcharakter war durchaus sympathisch.
Generell nur für Harry Cole Fans zu empfehlen.
