lemmonsarah1997 's review for:
The Sandman
by Lars Kepler
The books in the Joona Linna series for me are quite long and detailed, they're what some people might call slow burners. Whilst this is not usually what I look for in books, I seem to really enjoy this format in this series, I'm not sure why, whether it's the love for the stories, the characters, the atmosphere or the authors writing I don't know but I love going into these books.
Unfortunately THE SANDMAN was one of those typical, slow burning books that I hate. It was dragged out for way too long and because it was based on a killer that they kind of already have captured it got boring quickly. In my own opinion I think this book was at least 200 pages too long, the start is interesting, in the middle it falls flat then you find out the twist and all you really need to know from there is how it ends.
"It wasn't the people who were buried who were being punished, but those left behind."
I find that once you spend a major amount of time with the bad guy of the book, they start to become less scary and less interesting. This story wasn't as gripping as the others in the series and I was left feeling very disappointed.
I still can not fault Lars Kepler's writing and the atmosphere these books give off, I have a lot of space in my heart for these books and I'm looking forward to moving on to the next in the series, STALKER.
