Naprosto miluju detektivky s Joonou Linnou. Jsou plné adrenalinu. Nedokážu se od knížky vždy od trhnout a to speciálně od téhle. Bylo to naprosto senzační. I když docela smutné, ale takové detektivky jsou. Opravdu miluju styl psaní Larse Keplera. Ne moc zdlouhavé kapitoly. Rychlý spád. Pořád se tam něco děje.

Truly fantastic crime story. I was captured from the first chapter. Would absolutely recommend reading this one, and the others in the series as well. I have just finished book 5 and I think about Joona Linna on a day to day basis

Ok. De andra böckerna i serien har varit bra. Den här var orimligt bra. Min favorit hittills i serien. Så glad att jag är sen på att läsa denna bokserie så jag slipper vänta med att läsa fler!

Was immediately off to a rocky start with this one, with the most glaring issue being the writing. Clunky sentences, stilted, unnatural dialogue, and far more telling than showing: things difficult to ignore. Initially I thought the translation might be to blame, so I switched to the Swedish edition. However, apart from seeming slightly less awkward, the writing remained feeling off-putting and shallow, choppy in a way that is reminiscent of the writing you'd find in a mildly passionate grade-schooler's short story.
The characters were cardboard cut-outs who behaved irrationally; crucial decisions and motivations were left unexplained. The apparently Ultra-Scary-Psychopath-Serial-Killer-Mastermind villain was in actuality no more enigmatic or compelling than any other run-of-the-mill thriller predator. There is little rhythm or logic to the progression of the story, which even the authors seem aware of: there's a whole chapter toward the end which is just the narrator (not even a character!) explaining the Entire plot. Instead, we get served a string of conveniences and clichés.
Honestly. Insane how Goodreads ratings could be considered even a somewhat reliable judgement of quality when this book has a 4.25 rating.

Kanske den bästa Kepler-bok jag läst i detta skede. Storyn var igen kanske aningen mer förutsägbar, liksom de två första böckerna och i ett skede fick huvudpersonen kanske lite väl lätt tillgång till en massa information och bakgrundshistoria, vilket kanske kanske kändes lite väl lägligt. Men annars var detta en väldigt bra bok, storyn var den mest personliga hittills för huvudpersonen Joona och vi fick återse några favoritkaraktärer från tidigare böcker. Författarna vågade även ge ordentliga konsekvenser till huvudpersonerna från deras uppdrag. Taggad för nästa bok

Leser trash i feberrus. Ok. Litt lett å skjønne greia litt tidlig, men spennende og ikke i overkant irriterende språk.
