I read THE KINGDOM and couldn't put it down...suspenseful...original...this one is special in every way., Jo Nesbo remains the king of Scandicrime., Superbly written and magnificently chilling, This being Nesbo there is plenty of deception, death and partial decapitation to come. No Harry Hole this time, but still a sombre delight. There are shades of a Nordic Ripley, or maybe Virginia Andrews on aquavit. Choose your poison, The Kingdom is a stunning novel from a storyteller with few equals
