*A STUNNING NEW STANDALONE THRILLER FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE BESTSELLING HARRY HOLE SERIES*

In the far north of Norway a man lives a peaceful existence. However one day his younger brother, always the more successful and charming of the two, turns up to visit, accompanied by his new wife. It soon turns out that the little brother is not quite as angelic as he seems.

Set in a small town filled with secrets, this compellingly dark new thriller from the Sunday Times number one bestseller has a plot as explosive and multi-layered as any of the Harry Hole novels.

Critic Reviews

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 (Jon Coates)
Brilliantly chilling (Deirdre O'Brien)
The pace is uncharacteristically gentle, which is well-handled by Nesbo. But it all ends up as enjoyably over the top as ever
This standalone promises to be another disturbing thriller as only Nesbø can write them.
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.
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.

If you like a dark story with a protagonist who does not show his emotions in anyway give this audiobook a listen.
This was a bit too sad for me and I like a book with a moderately sunny ending.

A dark and depressing story
