Stalker by Lars Kepler
5.0
I am officially hooked on the Joona Linna series! If that wasn't clear before it is now. After the cliffhanger that was [b:The Sandman|35805854|The Sandman (Joona Linna, #4)|Lars Kepler|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1505767554l/35805854._SX50_.jpg|21866975], I immediately had to start [b:Stalker|40277342|Stalker|Lars Kepler|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1530534170l/40277342._SX50_.jpg|42012962] and I'm glad I did! This was even more of a crazy ride than the last one, and by the time I got to the end I had to control myself not to go straight to the next book in the series. There is a ton of violence and gore in this installment, and I would say about a million triggers. It brings Saga Bauer back again which I loved because she is such a kickass character, but what she is put through in this book I wouldn't wish on anyone! I also liked seeing Erik back (from [b:The Hypnotist|38960710|The Hypnotist (Joona Linna, #1)|Lars Kepler|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1520225728l/38960710._SY75_.jpg|7184205]), and this is just one reason why I recommend reading the books in order so you can get all that character development.
Once again the plot was very complex, and there is a lot going on in Stalker. The videos that come in before the killings make this one of the most terrifying stories yet and I got chills many times. I was also really impressed with the translation for this one, and even though it is the same translator as the other Vintage Crime/Black Lizard editions, this might be the best one yet. I love that the synopsis is short, so I am going to keep this review short as well. Lars Kepler has got to be my favorite crime writing duo and if you are a fan of Scandinavian Crime Fiction then you NEED to read these books. They just get better and better as they go, and Stalker was one of the best books in the series yet.
Note: I listened to the audio for this book and once again Saul Reichlin killed it with his narration.
