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

I'm really satisfied with this order, though I do have to say one corner of the cover was creased despite the bubble wrap. That wasn't much of a problem, however, because the book is otherwise in great condition. I'm just really happy I own a copy now.
The title is hooking to say the least not to mention the anticipation I felt when I opened the book.
this is an amazing book that allows for further research. Not only am I learning more about South Africa's very own elite group but also politics, business, finance, fraud, monopoly. these are all the things that make this book amazing. I love the page featuring the names and pictures of supposed members of the mafia or men who play a role. I love the south african histroy in the book. I love the notes at the back of the book. I love the index and abbreviations that were explained making it easy to follow along.
