This is book #4 in the Joona Linna series, and
I highly recommend reading the previous books before this one.
One of the many things I love about Nordic Noir
novels is the atmospheric writing. They are exceptional at writing books that
can make you feel like you are part of the environment. This took place during
the winter, and I swear I was cold reading this! They do such a brilliant job
at describing the environment and the tiny little details that are happening
during the story. I forgot just how much I adore Nordic Noir novels until I
picked this one up.
These series tend to be many pages, but the
short chapters made it such a breeze to read. I flew through this novel in a
couple of days!
This story is so thrilling and gripping, I was
at the edge of my seat from the very first chapter! I had no clue where it
would go, and what to expect!
I always loved Joona Lina’s character, but in
this book, we got a lot of character development for Saga and I really enjoyed
it! I would absolutely love to hear more about Saga’s story and hopefully, she
becomes Joona’s partner in the next book so we can hear more from her.
This book dealt with a very dangerous serial
killer and the mysterious disappearance of random people all throughout
Stockholm. Also, that ending!
Crazy ending and cliff-hanger that left me speechless! If you love dark and mysterious novels, this one’s for you!
one night, outside Stockholm, Mikael Kohler-Frost is
found wandering. Thirteen years earlier, he went missing along with his younger
sister. They were long thought to have been victims of Sweden's most notorious
serial killer, Jurek Walter, now serving a life sentence in a maximum security
psychiatric hospital. Now Mikael tells the police that his sister is still
alive and being held by someone he knows only as the Sandman. Years ago,
Detective Inspector Joona Linna made an excruciating personal sacrifice to
ensure Jurek's capture. He is keenly aware of what this killer is capable of,
and now he is certain that Jurek has an accomplice. He knows that any chance of
rescuing Mikael's sister depends on getting Jurek to talk, and that the only
agent capable of this is Inspector Saga Bauer, a twenty-seven-year-old prodigy.
She will have to go under deep cover in the psychiatric ward where Jurek is
imprisoned, and she will have to find a way to get to the psychopath before
it's too late--and before he gets inside her head.
