Veramente un bellissimo libro per il suo genere. 500 pagine che scorrono veramente come acqua. Molto psicologico, dark e crudo, sia negli argomenti che nella descrizione grafica. Veramente una lettura coinvolgente. Unica pecca è l'inverosimilità di alcuni combattimenti che sono un po' forzati ma per il resto è ottimo

This was my first Lars Kepler novel. It took me a little while to grasp and get into what exactly was going on, but I picked up quickly once I figured it out. 

The audiobook grasps your attention quickly, though I have a tendency sometimes to disconnect, especially when I listen while driving. Som things in this novel will pull you back very quickly if you’re like me in this regard. 

This was a great investigation. While I am not use to more graphic depictions of certain things, I enjoyed this novel and will definitely be adding more of Lars Kepler’s novels to my TBR List

Fast, readable, well translated. There is a bit too much coincidence, which I can forgive. There is also a bit too much torture porn, which I really do not like.

Runs towards blaming mental illness for violence, very explicitly violent scenes
