tanja_alina_berg 's review for:
The Sandman
by Lars Kepler
I am finally beginning to warm up toward this series. By now I am familiar with the repeating characters, particularly detective inspector Joona Linna. Since I've learned about the tragedy in his life, I've started to root for him. This makes the story more personal and makes me far more invested in events than I have been before.
Joona Linna has attachment issues. This stems from the time when he sent his wife and daughter away, pretending they died in a car accident, to save them from a brutal serial killer. Joona has a new girlfriend, Disa, and is desparately worried that his job might interfere with their relationship. The serial killer Jurek is in high security prison now, but he has a helper. When one of the children abducted years ago turns up and says his sister is still alive, someone has to enter the prison to try to get information out of Jurek in regards to his assistant.
The twists in this book are quite brilliant, I hardly saw any of them coming - I have in the previous books in this series. The book doesn't exactly end with a cliffhanger, but it certainly leaves me eager for the next installment which will be released in Swedish in just a few weeks.
