A review by vandana_onmyshelf
Stalker by Lars Kepler

3.0

So the Stalker is about well obviously a stalker who is also a serial killer. We are first introduced to Margot Silverman, chief Police officer, National Criminal Investigation Department (Sweden), they are watching a small clip that was sent to them before the first murder is committed. It's voyeuristic in nature. The murdered woman in her last moments. The victims face  is completely brutalised to the point it's not even recognisable. They ask for the assistance of Erik Maria Bark, an expert forensic psychiatrist and also a hypnotist to get information from a witness. From there on in we learn the history of a similar murder nine years ago and how someone else was wrongly convicted and that the serial killer is still on loose.

The story has its strength, the characters and their environment is solid but I felt it dragged in certain places. It's five thirty pages long and certainly tests my patience. But the serial killer is seriously weird and scary. One of the best villains I have read this year purely based on the fact that they managed to scare me. Ha.
