 This was great! Super original plot, interesting developments. We are presented with a serial killer who despises how media gives the spotlight to "celebrities" that don't really have anything of value to share with people; how easy it is to become famous nowadays, we have all the means, and it's enough to enter in a reality show and become famous. It was a good and refreshing approach to see in a crime/thriller novel.
I wasn't expecting the turns some subplots took. Quite frankly, I was expecting something else for one character, however, I didn't hate the authors' decision.
I'm not sure if I'm the only one thinking this, but Vanja is kind of annoying me at this point. Please, take a notch down. I'm very happy with the direction the authors gave to Torkel's story, I think it was about time.
I suspect book 6 will be the last one in this series, which is understandeble taking into consideration the course of events in this book. I'm excited to see what book 6 will bring!
