Summary
He's the best cop they've got.
When a drug bust turns into a bloodbath, it's up to Inspector Macbeth and his team to clean up the mess.
He's also an ex-drug addict with a troubled past.
He's rewarded for his success. Power. Money. Respect. They're all within reach.
But a man like him won't get to the top.
Plagued by hallucinations and paranoia, Macbeth starts to unravel. He's convinced he won't get what is rightfully his.
Unless he kills for it.

Wow wow wow wow wow!
I love Shakespeare and have never been afraid to leave a theatre if a performance was terrible. I am also a huge fan of Jo Nesbo's writing. Few authors have me so enthralled.
However, I avoided listening to this for some time because I wasn't sure what to expect. What an incredible take on MacBeth. I have previously referred to Jo Nesbo as a wordsmith, someone who can wrote in such a way that the reader/listener becomes emotionally invested in the story and the characters. This is possibly his best work and I've read and listened to upwards of 15 of his books. A true masterpiece and very well read.
With 2 small children, i no longer have time to read so Audible is an absolute godsend because I can still enjoy a good book whilst doing house stuff, bum changes etc. If you haven't tried audible yet, use it for some "me time".

Brilliant
As much as I missed Sean barret Reading it, the narrator was absolutely brilliant.. I’m a huge fan of the harry hole books, but I think this is actually better.. the transference of placing Macbeth into 70’s (Glasgow) - it’s never named..but pretty clear...was very clever with the perfect intonation of all the classic Macbeth beats. I thoroughly enjoyed this and sacrificed a few hours sleep to finish it

Nesbo slow starter.
Unlike Nesbo this one is a slow starter. But stick with it. I struggled with this at the start but was a grower. Have read every Nesbo book. This is not his best but a departure from Scandi Noir.

Brilliant
Jo Nesbo is an excellent writer and you could enjoy this book even if you hadn't seen or read Macbeth. I have seen it but I'm going to see it soon and I think I will get more out of the play by having read this. Nesbo is great at writing drama and action but also making you recognise the motivations and humanity of the characters.

Meh..
Over the top and rather simplistic, but if you get into it without high expectations, it's ok to pass the time.

Nesbo reworks Shakespeare
MacBeth reworked with a Trainspotting vibe. I wasn’t sure at first, but after a couple of chapters I found it pretty compelling.

Bleak
An unremittingly bleak story of murder, drug addiction, deceit and the corruption of power. No characters generate any sympathy, yet the world may not be a better place by the end of the story.
Yes, very heavily based on Shakespeare, the plot shows that the story translates to any scenario involving the corruption of power.
