Roger Brown takes pride in being one of the best corporate headhunters in the region but his paycheck can’t keep up with his wife’s lifestyle. He adds to his paycheck by dabbling in art theft. Roger has adopted the FBI interrogation techniques in interviewing his job candidates and he double bluffs his clients to up the commission he receives for his efforts. If you are new to Nesbo books you should pay close attention to the questions Roger asks Lander. Headhunters is a mystery that challenges the reader’s wits and attention.
Headhunters is written (mainly) in the first person so that Roger’s feelings and thoughts are directly experienced by the reader. You feel like a participant in the story rather than an observer looking in from the outside.
If you don’t mind a bit of blood and larceny this is a very good read with lots of twists in the plot.
