A review by exlibrismira
Stalker by Lars Kepler
3.0
"'You know... I can't trust my memory,' her says, and opens his eyes again. 'I can wake up in the middle of the night and remember a day twenty years ago and write it all down, then when I read what I wrote a week later it feels like I made it all up, like it never happened... And of cousre I don't really know..."
I keep hearing great things about Lars Kepler's books. So many great things that I couldn't have not eventually ended up reading one of his works. The thing is that I do not particularly enjoy thrillers. I hoped against hope that I'd love this book. I liked it, of course I did, but that's where my feeling end. I bet that to someone who can properly appreciate a good thriller, this book would be priceless. And that's what [b:Stalker|22554261|Stalker (Joona Linna, #5)|Lars Kepler|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1464383371s/22554261.jpg|42012962] is - a good, maybe even a great thriller but I'm probably not the right audience for it.
It had everything a mystery novel should have - an intriguing premise, gripping investigation and an unpredictable revelation. The characters did feel a little bit flat but that's what happens when a book is strongly focused on the plot line. I kept guessing who the "stalker" could possibly be and even in spite of my best efforts I couldn't guess who the killer actually was.
While this is a well written mystery I'm not someone who is known for enjoying this particular genre and my YA mindset may have lessened my overall enjoyment of the book.
3.5 stars.
