Jag brukar inte läsa deckare så har inte så mycket att jämföra med men allmänt för mig så kändes den bra men inte sådär wow. Lite för mycket våld för min smak men annars var det en intressant och spännande historia

The Spider was my most anticipated read of the year, and I dropped everything to read it the moment it arrived.  Sorry not sorry, TBR pile.  This one is the 9th in the Joona Linna serial killer series and the books just keep getting better!  The Spider did NOT disappoint.  This book is absolutely gripping.  I couldn’t peel my eyes away from the pages!  Nordic noir has zero boundaries, so nothing is off limits, which I’m totally used to now.  I love how dark and twisted the stories are.  These books are pretty violent, so just be warned.  But they’re amazing and I highly recommend this entire series.  Go check them out!
