No one does a Book of Murder quite like Nesbø!! Spoiler alert... Fratricide Included!!
I did not have the good fortune to read Kongeriket, #1, but Nesbø filled in the backstory a reader would need.
Murders aside, this is a FUN read! There is mystery. There is romance. There is bribery!
I really did not want to like either of the Opgard brothers... however, one very much grew on me! And yes, I spent much of the novel rooting for Roy (despite his murdering tendencies!)
Thanks to Netgalley, Knopf, Pantheon, Vintage, and Anchor for this advanced digital copy of the book. It will be published February 11, 2025.
