About this listen

A young woman is murdered in her Oslo flat. One finger has been severed from her left hand, and behind her eyelid is secreted a tiny red diamond in the shape of a five-pointed star – a pentagram, the devil’s star.

Detective Harry Hole is assigned to the case with his long-time adversary Tom Waaler and initially wants no part in it. But Harry is already on notice to quit the force and is left with little alternative but to drag himself out of his alcoholic stupor and get to work.

A wave of similar murders is on the horizon. An emerging pattern suggests that Oslo has a serial killer on its hands, and the five-pointed devil’s star is key to solving the riddle.

Spider’s Web

Loved the audio production and getting caught in Jo’s web of intrigue and retribution were you want to believe the ‘Prince’ has finally found his match, but knowing Harry has to many flaws to live happily ever after....🤙

Not my favourite

I love the Harry Hole books but really struggled with this one. I got so sick of hearing about Raquel Raquel Raquel. Ugh. Really ruined the book for me.

Enjoying the series and think each one is better than the last. Sean Barrett’s narration is really good and adds to the enjoyment.
