One of Nesbo’s most accomplished novels
Financial Times
If you’ve never read any Jo Nesbo, now is the perfect time to check out his excellent Harry Hole series
Essentials
As beguiling as ever… An absolute treat
Sunday Mirror
As with the Australian setting of The Bat, Hole's first outing, we're again terra incognita (Asia here); Cockroaches, organised with greater concentration than its predecessor, turns out to be one of Nesbo's most accomplished novels
Barry Forshaw, Financial Times
The complex narrative and large dramatis personae are handled with steely authority, but what really makes the novel work is the fact that the picturesque seediness of Bangkok and Thailand turn out to be Harry Hole's natural element
Independent
Set to be another sure-fire hit

Beguiling as ever... An absolute treat
Deirdre O'Brien, Sunday Mirror
It's fun to see Nesbo finding his feet with Hole...and he weaves a large cast and a complex plot into a satisfying plunge into a filthy south-east Asian underbelly, ripe to bursting with corruption, exploitation and cruelty

Avoiding a scandal is supposed to be Hole’s first priority but, of course, our favourite dyspeptic detective discovers more than anyone bargained for
