Tips and Resources From Your Jo Nesbo Book Club Friends:

Throughout Jo Nesbo’s popular crime series, Harry Hole comes across as an excellent detective but a flawed individual. A recovering alcoholic, Hole is prone to reach for a drink during difficult times. He’s not particularly well organised or good at dating but he’s good at his job and will doggedly pursue the bad guys until they are caught no matter what the personal cost.

Nesbo, known for his excellent writing and his masterful plotting, will leave you shaking from the thrills and suspense that he conjures out of seemingly disparate events. His standalone novels also offer thrills as well as chills. From the eerie horror in The Night House to the Kingdom, a book Stephen King says he “couldn’t put down,” Nesbo’s heroes have many dark shades but there is a brightness shining through. And for those readers looking for a breath of fresh air (or maybe we should say a breath of stinky air) from the Scandinavian noir, Nesbo has written a humorous children’s adventure series, Doctor Proctor’s Fart Powder, to lighten everyone’s mood.
