Media reviews

“Nesbo’s new book makes all the hype before publication seem like false modesty, and is quite simply a fantastic piece of crime literature…. First and foremost, this is a clever, enthralling and driven story that is impossible to put down.”
Dagens Næringsliv (Norway)

“Yet another powerful demonstration of Nesbo’s talent for creating a story that plays on all nerve strands and with so much intensity that it embodies both the Bible and Batman at once. It is really well done. It is still early in the year, but I wouldn’t be surprised if someone should dub The Son as the crime novel of the year.”
Ekstra Bladet (Denmark)

“The pace proves to be on top in the new book, in a positive sense. This remains Norwegian crime literature in a class by itself. A plot that stretches and spreads out like great mathematical formulas, with many unfamiliar characters in the equation, but without being arcane or excessive in his fantastic interpretations…. Jo Nesbo prevails once again.”
Dagsavisen (Norway)

The Son is a modern take on the story about Christ, that tackles the corruption in Oslo…. Jo Nesbo’s writing is incredible as usual.”
Jyllands-Posten (Denmark)

“Tremendously well written by Nesbo…. There is something unstoppably vital about Jo Nesbo as a designer of crime stories in the baroque style. His pen is on fire and although it may be noted that it goes too fast sometimes linguistically, the stories he creates has so many staggering twists and turns that it is almost physically impossible not to get hooked.”
Aftenposten (Norway)
 
“Crime novels are rarely so skillfully told and at the same time so much more than pure entertainment. But Nesbo is a master.”
Berlingske (Denmark)

“No Norwegian crime writer can create such complex crime plots without losing in detail like Nesbo can. You might say that Nesbo is both high and low in his texts, and that is one of the main reasons why they rise above most other novels in this genre.”
Dagbladet (Norway)

“It is a formidable, diabolically clever and devilishly good book that is well put together down to the smallest detail.”
Nordjyske Stiftstidene (Denmark)

“When the core is set and the story takes its pace, it is propelled with great force and an unerring sense of detail, dialogue and for where intervals and scene changes should be located. It is simply thrilling to read.”
—NRK (Norway)

“Fast-paced and rip-roaring suspenseful.”
Politiken (Denmark)
 
“No one at our latitudes knows the game like Nesbo does. No one is even close to his craftsmanship in writing crime novels that hold such international standard.”
Adresseavisen (Norway)

“A high level of suspense all the way and limitless brutality. The bad guys get what they deserve and Nesbo’s writing is almost more cynical and concrete than usual. There are also a few love stories along the way that—almost—end happily.”
Lolland-Falsters Folketidende (Denmark)
