Den här boken håller sig i klass med deras första bok som fick mig att kallsvettas och höll mig vaken sent in på nätterna då jag inte vågade släppa boken. Jag gillar tempot i boken även om jag är lite frustrerad precis i början då min favoritkaraktär inte är med, men det vänder snart. Karaktärerna är välskrivna och morden fruktansvärda. Jag vill dock påpeka att morden trots sin brutalitet inte beskrivs alltför rått utan beskrivningen av offren hålls på en enligt mig "lagom" nivå. Det finns mycket fler anledningar som gör att den här boken är så bra men vill inte heller spoila vissa detaljer och därför får jag nog nöja mig här. Gillar man thrillers är Kepler aldrig fel.

Litt skuffa faktisk. Men kanskje var det bare at jeg har lest tre Kepler-bøker på rappen nå (og irritert meg like mye over den halvgode oversettingen hver gang).

Definitely feel like I'm missing a bit of the story... didn't realize it was mis-series. The main plot was an interesting one for a thriller... but the book was entirely too long, too many characters, too many sub plots to follow. It all felt pretty crazy, unrealistic, and chapter transitions were weird. Like it just left you hanging, and not in a good way.

Longish yet very quick to finish. I liked the tense atmosphere throughout the book and how all the different characters' storylines intervened with each other at one point or another. The twist at the end was solid and thought out, it made sense and was believable.
The characters weren't flat and one-dimensional.
I think I might pick up another book by this author in the future.

One of the good things about downloading books from netgalley is how it's opened my eyes to lots of new (to me) authors.  I then end up going out and either buying the back catalogues or taking advantage of the local library for some mass borrowing. This is no exception to that. My first of Keplers' and I will definitely be going back for the rest.

It was such an enjoyable thriller and kept me guessing right up until the big reveal. Then it was a race against time to rescue the final victims. It's a real page turner and I found it difficult to put down. 
Even though it's the fifth installment I didn't feel like I'd missed anything by not having read the others however I w=definitely need to go back to them as I want to know the full story as to how Joona ended up faking his own death and living on a farm, no longer a policeman. 
I was reading this book whilst on a coach heading to Wales and the lady next to me asked what the book was (on kindle so not obvious). When I told her, she mentioned how she hadn't read the book but apparently BBC4 have been showing a TV series about this detective! And she'd really enjoyed it. Now I have that to add to my watch list too and she is going to go get the books because I was enjoying the written version so much. I love how stories bring us together. 

So yeah, I loved it, the lady loved the TV show and I'm looking forward to reading the rest.
