A review by knik
The Hypnotist by Lars Kepler

dark mysterious tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? No

3.5

Flat characters and a red herring that isn’t wrapped up tainted everything I liked about the book.
