Many thanks to NetGalley and Knopf for gifting me both a physical and digital ARC of Jo Nesbo's latest thriller. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4.5 stars!
Brothers Carl and Roy Opgard have killed their way to the top in their small town of Os. Carl runs the fancy spa hotel and Roy has big plans for an amusement park. But the sheriff seems to be closing in on them and feels he has new evidence in past murders. The brothers are used to covering their tracks, but they won't go down without a fight.
I'm a huge Nesbo fan, especially of his Harry Hole books, but somehow I missed the first book in this series. Didn't matter - this book definitely stands on its own and I thoroughly enjoyed it, even though it's filled with unlikeable characters. It's also full of action and suspense, with family loyalty on the line, bringing up the question of just how far people will go to protect their secrets and maintain their power. Plenty of twists and turns, and Nesbo is fabulous at bringing to life the atmosphere of these small Norwegian towns. .
