I just wanted to know what was happening next. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? It also humanizes Roger a bit because up until this point, minus a few admitted weaknesses, he is basically a god to us. At a gallery opening, his wife introduces him to Clas Greve. But hes also a highly accomplished art thief. All the while illustrating Graver's personality and capabilities. A fantastic standalone thriller from the 1 bestselling author Jo Nesbo.Roger Brown has it all: Norways most successful headhunter, he is married to a beautiful gallery owner and owns a magnificent house. The conversation was like watching a boxer attempt defend against combination after combination. It is a treat to see Brown attempt to regain his footing after trying to apply mechanical tactics to a monster like Graver. You can feel the aggression and mysteriousness. Graver's talk about his military experiences. Shaped by their experiences but at their core they remain the same person. A man with particular skills against an ugly force. What other book might you compare Headhunters to and why? Where does Headhunters rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Watch the movie (after reading the book) ! (It's on Netflix.) Rarely seen a film so faithfully follow the plot details of the book (subject to certain things being chopped to keep it feature film length). It's also too much luck that he finds a razor in the car. Too many narrow escapes and far too much toughness from a "regular guy" character-understand it is his desperation propelling him to all these feats of strength and skill, but not believable. The protagonist is not an action hero, liking for his next conquest (although he's portrayed that way at some points). Inspector Harry Hole has retreated to Hong Kong, escaping the trauma of his last case in squalid opium dens, when two young women are found dead in Oslo, both drowned in their own blood.
