Grassat spennende bok. 100% plottdrevet. Mye vold og gørr. På grensen til det akseptable. Særdeles vanskelig å legge fra seg. MEN! Hva i #¤/% skulle nå Kepler med den epilogen? Som om boka ikke stod på egne bein? Den var spekulativ, den! *grrr*
Derfor 4. Ellers er dette en klar 5'er om man har en hang til voldelig og blodig krim med skyhøyt tempo, inklusiv referanse til The Shining og greier. Joda. Kepler har lært sine ting, de.

The Rabbit Hunter is the sixth novel from the husband and wife duo of Lars Kepler. The book describes sex crimes, so reader discretion is advised.
The point-of-view character of the novel provides an unreliable narrator with a dark secret, who is witness to a horrible chain of events, with his involvement remaining ambiguous throught the story.
The book has two interwoven, yet unique narrative strands that come together in the climax to mercifully answer the dangling plot threads which are created throughout. The twist in the finale is very unexpected, so kudos if you can figure it out.
The book really shines on second read, as you can pick up on some of the nuances lost on first read. I power read through this book so I recommend it for long bouts of reading.
3.3/5

This wildly violent novel set in Sweden is the stuff that nightmares are made of. A serial killer is on the rampage, hideously murdering his victims in the most disturbing ways.
This book no doubt left me feeling a little shaken and it is the first in the series that I have had the pleasure of reading. I will certainly be reading more from Lars Kepler.

Speechless. I like this even more than Stalker!!
It was very hard to finish, given the topic. But boy was it worth it.
The story is morally murky, deeply tragic, and I keep rooting for the less-than-righteous character. Because how could I not? How could anyone not? It's too much. Some parts are so realistic, it reads like like a fantasy coming true. A very satisfying, painful read. I'm so grateful this book exists. Out of the six Joona Linna series I've finished, this one feels the most personal. It probably is to a lot of people.
And, uh, that ending? I'm screaming.

Book 144: The Rabbit Hunter by Lars Kepler
Reading this book with Basic B's Guide and @readwithjamie for a buddy read.
This book is #6 in the Joona Linna series for the authors.
Synopsis: Detective Joona Linna is finishing out a sentence at Kumla prison for assaulting an officer in the course of his last investigation when he is summoned to a meeting with the Swedish Prime Minister. The Foreign Minister has been brutally murdered. There's a chance more political figures could be targeted. The police need Linna to find the killer and neutralize the threat, so he's granted a temporary release from prison. But when another murder occurs, Linna realizes he's dealing with something far more complex, and far more terrifying, than anyone imagined. As the body count grows, Linna begins to understand that he can't do this alone and he reaches out to Saga Bauer, the young Security Police detective, for help. Now, together, the two race against time to unravel the killer's intricate plan before he can take his ultimate revenge.
This is the second book in this series that I have read. Started with Sandman, skipped The Stalker, and now this book. I did not find it difficult to pick up and get back into the characters, though having some more backstory would have been good. The details behind why Joona is in jail at the beginning of the book were missing since I did not read the previous book. Definitely enjoyed this book more than Sandman and agree with some reviews that the book could have been shorter. I felt that way about Sandman as well. There is a lot of layering in of characters throughout the book, though I think maybe could cut some out especially since they are not central to the plot. Overall good installment in the series. Will read another, maybe not in the order written. My rating 4 ⭐.
