Starred review from August 30, 2021
The 12 tales in this impressive collection from bestseller Nesbø (the Harry Hole series) blend taut suspense with sharply limned characters. “Rat Island” is the highlight, a dystopian tale set in the U.S. after a devastating pandemic. The health crisis proves an opportunity for the rich, helping them “in their struggle against those who posed the greatest threat to them: hordes of the poor and the desperate.” This disturbingly plausible near-future is enhanced by detailed worldbuilding; for example, visually impaired characters prepared in advance for doomsday by getting laser surgery, expecting that glasses and contact lenses would be hard to obtain. Nesbø also makes the most out of the conceit of the title story—a detective specializes in homicide cases where jealousy is the motive. Grim humor (“rather than kill someone they hate, Greeks allow the victim to go on living in Greece,” thus, the low murder rate in Greece) leavens stories highlighting the dark side of human nature. Frederick Forsyth fans will be enthralled. Agent: Niclas Salomonsson, Salomonsson Agency (Sweden).

- content: This gripping collection of short stories on the themes of jealousy and power by Norwegian mystery writer Jo Nesb� will keep listeners on the edge of their seats. Each story is delivered by one of a wide cast of talented narrators. This approach not only distinguishes the stories but also gives each one a unique style. A highlight is Simon Vance's narration of "London," which creates two believable characters. Vance's delivery adds to the plot twist at the end. Also notable is the dystopian tale "Rat Island," narrated by Mark Deakins and Alex McKenna, in which the use of two voices differentiates the dual points of view. The mix of stories and narrators makes this a great choice for thriller fans. K.J.P. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine
