Recensione:

“There’s Nordic noir, and then there’s Nesbo noir. Jo Nesbo’s reputation as the reigning bad boy of Norwegian crime fiction has grown steadily in the USA with the critically acclaimed novels The Redbreast and Nemesis and now THE DEVIL’S STAR.” (USA Today)

“Readers new to this whitehot series will be impressed by Nesbø’s generous plotting and his insight into dark places in the human soul.” (Kirkus Reviews)

“Astonishingly confident. . . . The Devil’s Star scores with an intriguing plot and Nesbo’s mastery of pace and tension.” (The Times (London))

“Jo Nesbø is my new favorite thriller writer and Harry Hole my new hero.” (Michael Connelly)

“Superb.” (Daily Telegraph (London))

“Nesbø has a knack for Euro noir.” (Entertainment Weekly)

“Nobody can delve into the dark, twisted mind of a murderer better than a Scandinavian thriller writer.” (Vogue)

“The dense plot is supremely detailed. . . . A crisp, clean translation. . . . Satisfying.” (New York Times Book Review)

“Readers now can savor NEMESIS. . . . Nesbo’s storytelling abilities are incomparable. NEMESIS is crime novel as art form and great entertainment.” (USA Today)

“A well-crafted rollercoaster of a book. . . . Nesbo sets a cracking pace, the shambolic Hole is exasperating and endearing by turns, and a series of spectacular plot twists lead to a thrilling finale. Highly recommended.” (The Guardian (London))
