Award description

Rivertonbiblioteket ("The Riverton Library") is a list of "the 99 best crime novels and thrillers of all time" compiled in the 1990s by Rivertonklubben, the Norwegian detective fiction writers' association. Listed books were voted in by the association's members.

Disambugation notice: Rivertonbiblioteket has been referred to as "the 100 best", but the published list ([Rivertonbiblioteket : tidenes beste kriminal- og spenningsbøker]) clearly states that there are only 99 books in the library. 
"Rivertonbiblioteket" has later also been used for a publisher series of 13 books.
