APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Scandinavian noir collides with the Scottish Play in this high-speed, blood-soaked Shakespearian reboot. Jo Nesbø reimagines Macbeth as the head of a SWAT team in a dreary, working-class town in the ‘70s. Committed to cleaning up the gangs and corruption, Macbeth’s also obsessed with murdering police commissioner Duncan and taking his post. Nesbø doesn’t tamper much with Macbeth’s major themes, showing how relevant and modern the Bard’s treatment of power, ambition, and greed remains. Still, the best-selling Norwegian author finds places to let his own gifts for high atmosphere and grisly prose shine through.
