About this listen
Harry is on a special mission.
Detective Harry Hole arrives in a steaming hot Bangkok. The Norwegian ambassador has been found dead in a seedy motel room, and Harry has been sent to investigate. It’s clear that the Ambassador’s family are hiding some secrets of their own, but few people are willing to talk. He needs to solve a crime and avoid a scandal.
When Harry lays hands on some incriminating CCTV footage, things only get more complicated. The man who gave him the tape goes missing, and Harry realises that failing to solve a murder case is by no means the only danger that faces the unwary. But in an unfamiliar city, who can you trust?

Too grim
Not enough light to help a reader cope with all the shade. Clever story. Disliked the bleak narration. A lot of nasty facts I didn’t need to know.

AWESOMELY FANTASTIC - I'M A NEW FAN
Where does Cockroaches rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Up there with The Stieg Larsson Millennium Series, this book is clever, has an extensively well developed story line and the characters are believable.
What other book might you compare Cockroaches to, and why?
Stieg Larsson's Trilogy and Jussi Adler Olssen's Karl Morck Series - I am in love with Scandi Crime!
What does Sean Barrett bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
Sean is a genius. Simple. So entertaining, beings the characters to life, is so realistic that when 2 characters are speaking to each other in conversation, it sounds like 2 different people. Sean's voice gives the story, anymore importantly, Harry Hole's character, credibility and gravitas.
Any additional comments?
Start at the beginning and enjoy the whole 10 books in the series.

Jo Nesbo terrific writer
This wasn't my favourite from Jo Nesbo but still really worth listening and following along. Sean Barrett was great but his accent was a not as good as other Harry Hole stories he's read. I hadn't listened to this so was happy to find it while waiting for Nesbo's new book to come out. I would still suggest this to anyone as the twists in the tale are still engaging.
