Lärjungen by Michael Hjorth, Hans Rosenfeldt

4.0

Very good thriller, this second instalmant of the Bergmankronieken. The book is dark, suspenseful and kept me wanting to read on. The MC, Bergman is a really annoying character, but also someone you feel pity for. For all his knowledge of human psyche he cannot help himself. There is a constant tension in the novel as the reader knows what the source of his annoying, strange behaviour might be, but the people around him don’t. I felt like watching a movie and wanting to shout to the characters. The thriller is very dark and an excellent example of scandinavian noir,
I doubted between 3 and 4 stars, but in the end decided on four as it was a very enjoyable read.
