About this listen

Roger Brown has it all. He's the country's most successful headhunter. He has a beautiful wife and a magnificent house. And to maintain this lifestyle, he's also a highly accomplished art thief. At a gallery opening, his wife introduces him to Clas Greve. Not only is Greve the perfect candidate for a position with one of Roger's high-profile clients, he is also in possession of 'The Calydonian Boar Hunt' by Rubens, one of the most sought-after paintings in the world.

Roger sees his chance to be rich beyond his wildest dreams and starts planning his boldest heist yet. But soon, he runs into trouble - and this time money is the least of his worries.

I've listened to a lot of Nesbo / Barrett audiobooks and this ranks among the most exciting. a very different style to his Harry Hole novels but in a good sense. I was tricked by the ending too. great!

thoroughly exciting listen

A gripping story full of action and irony as well. Beautifully read as usual by Sean Barrett. He is so good that I have looked up his other performances.

Excellent

Headhunters By Jo Nesbo

It wasn’t a bad story. Good characters as normal from Jo Nesbo but just not up to the same level as the Harry Hole series. But definitely not the worst.

Not bad...not great

Not what you expect from Jo Nesbo but still full of twists and turns, as is usual from this eloquent writer also so we'll narrated by Sean Barrett very enjoyable.

Would you listen to Headhunters again? Why?

It was a memorable story, I would find it hard to achieve the same level of interest again.

What did you like best about this story?

Typical Jo Nesbo I was a bit frustrated to find there was no Harry Hole but warmed to the plot a little mind stretching in the technology (although not in the near future i guess).

What does Sean Barrett bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

A good element of pace and suspense.

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Just talk to the head hunter, what can go wrong?

Sorry Jo I kept expecting Harry to solve it!

This is a story where it's so tense you feel that you want to speed up the storytelling because its so good. The eponymous Headhunter is smug, manipulative, deceitful, but there's always someone fiercer out there in the world. A thriller in every sense; putting the reader right in the middle of the menacing heart-stopping experience - and unbelievably its also make you laugh out loud. After listening to this Jo Nesbo book its hard not to start straight away on another. A good story and good listening.

Tension, Breath Stopping Tension

I've listened to all the Harry Hole books and for some reason hadn't bothered with Headhunters. I think I thought it wouldn't be good for some reason. How wrong could I have been. I think it's the best one. What a great story!! It had me with my mouth pursed in the shocked OH... shape quite a few times. Must look hilarious when I'm driving. I loved it, couldn't say enough good things about it. Sean as always delivers a supberb narration which adds to the spice. Recommend HIGHLY!!

It's the best one....

Great story moves at a fast pace towards a surprising end. Very well performed by Sean Barrett equals yet another Jo Nesbo classic
