An uneven entry in a generally good series. The story relies heavily on previous books, so any reader diving in to this one will find themselves somewhat confused. The first half in particular is very disjointed. Thankfully, once the plot settles down, it gets back to what the series does best in the 2nd half, with a high bloody body count and tense action thrills. Enough to keep me interested for the next one!

Estou doida com este livro!
A verdade é que os autores me conquistam de livro para livro, é notória a evolução da escrita e da história ao longo dos livros que vão sendo publicados.
Neste aqui acompanhamos mais uma vez o inspetor Joona, mas também a Saga (que eu adoro!), num crime que nos remonta também ao inesquecível e assustador Jurek, um dos serial killers mais bem construídos que eu já vi!

Tal como numa teia de aranha neste livro somos enganados, e envolvidos de forma assustadora, apesar de descobrirmos a pessoa responsável pelos crimes relativamente cedo o seu propósito e jogo final só é revelado nas últimas páginas e por isso vamos sendo constantemente enganados.

Este livro é um verdadeiro banho de sangue e termina de uma forma assustadora, deixando-nos apreensivos para o que ai vem…

Such an addictive read, Lars Kepler never misses. Feel like the chapters were shorter than their previous books so made it even breezier to get through. Just loved it so much, who’d have thought I’d be a thriller gal and sometimes my tummy actually flipped with nerves. Just incredible writing and it has you thinking about the book all the time - went shopping and saw a cleaver and was thinking how it tied in to the story of this book. Would probably need to read the other books to read this one - some of the series can be a stand alone but I think this book is best with the background info. Just love this author so much - idk if any other thriller writer will live up to them so might only read them in this genre, it honestly feels like a film.
