Twisty /.../ Fans of classic noir such as Double Indemnity will be hooked.
Publishers Weekly, US
This standalone promises to be another disturbing thriller as only Nesbø can write them.
Amazon Book Review *12 must-read mysteries and thrillers coming this fall*
The latest stand-alone from the chronicler of Inspector Harry Hole puts all the murky, violent twists on brotherly love that you'd expect from this leading exponent of Nordic noir...The illusions of a family and its close-knit town constructed and demolished on a truly epic scale.
Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review), US
With echoes of such classic noir authors as Dorothy B. Hughes, James M. Cain, and Jim Thompson...Nesbo brilliantly uses the insularity of Roy's world, both internally and externally, to accentuate the Shakespearean inevitability of the impending tragedy.
Booklist, Starred Review
An engrossing, tense and atmospheric page turner
Essential Marbella
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 Times
The pace is uncharacteristically gentle, which is well-handled by Nesbo. But it all ends up as enjoyably over the top as ever
Sunday Express
Jo Nesbo remains the king of Scandicrime.
Financial Times
Brilliantly chilling
Deirdre O'Brien, Best
The Kingdom is a stunning novel from a storyteller with few equals
Jon Coates, UK Press Syndication
Superbly written and magnificently chilling
Sunday Mirror
I read THE KINGDOM and couldn't put it down...suspenseful...original...this one is special in every way.
Stephen King
[A] mesmerising novel
Independent
A grippingly dark standalone thriller... Utterly compelling
Silversurfers
A truly stunning novel
