farsotstein 's review for:

Sandmannen by Lars Kepler
5.0

Okay, I need to get something off my chest. This book is the epitome of "everyone should listen to Joona Linna, ffs"!!!

I've read all books in the series and no one believes Joona and then everything goes to s*** and Joona has to fix it. Like, why don't you learn, people? :D

Apart from that, I think this book is the weakest one of all. There were some things happening super illogically, which was irritating for me. Otherwise I enjoyed the back story of Jurek Walter, it was needed in the series. Mind that I didn't read the books in order, but it was pretty easy to connect the dots while reading, so I really loved that about the series. And Sandmannen was the perfect piece to finish the whole picture. As I said, the only drawback was some illogical details, like when Jurek is shown like an almost supernatural being.

Hopefully, I'll find other Nordic noir series to fill the void that finishing this one brought. :D
