He Who Fears the Wolf by Karin Fossum

5.0

Yet again the author manages to weave an enticing mystery within an exploration of mental illness. She is so masterful at creating these stereotypes and then knocking them down. Once again it feels like you know the answer too early but you really don't know anything. She keeps it all from going too far over the edge by anchoring with such a straight man detective to rein it in. Humanizing within the structure of a violent murder story. So hard to do and so well done
