Their captor is unpredictable and as wily as he is cruel: he foils every one of their desperate attempts to escape . Mit über 600 Seiten ist "Der Spiegelmann" für einen Thriller eher lang, trotzdem gelingt es dem Autorenduo, über die komplette Länge des Buches ein gutes Spannungsniveau zu halten. It is a stand alone and there is some good background info but I would have liked to have started at the beginning.

I'm tempted to go back to the first book in the series to fill in a few of the blanks about the main detective, Joona. Keen eyed readers of this book series will notice by now that this review has yet to mention a certain character. How do they keep their readers interested, while also providing the same types of stories that drew them in the first place?I thought the ending was really well done and I could feel the emotions the characters were going through as Lars Kepler wraps the story up. If you're a fan of police procedurals or Nordic crime thrillers and haven't discovered this series yet, I implore you to check it out! The book is quite graphic and brutal in parts and maybe too much for some readers but I certainly thought that it added to the atmospheric setting. Not sure how I got into this series but hard to believe I have read all 8 books and enjoyed most of them.

Now, when a new girl, Mia, goes missing, Linna is sure that there is a serial kidnapper/murderer who has been targeting young girls and hopes to make a mockery of it all. Seems I have joined the party rather late; this is the 8 th book in the series and only the first one I have read. Nuimu žvaigždę už nuklydimą į nusikalstamą pasaulį / šunų peštynių ringą, kuris nelabai ko davė siužetui ir toks jausmas, kad įdėtas vien dėl šokiravimo. Hij is in de war en ze proberen, door middel van hypnose, hem weer terug naar het bewuste moment te brengen. A few other patients we meet in his psychiatric ward all exhibit dangerous mannerisms and the book only focuses on how dangerous they are to other people.Here, this husband and wife writing team tackle a frightening scenario so dreadfully evil that it is sobering to realize it is a scenario that has played out in reality. This was one well written novel with an interesting take on many things including mental illness as well as hypnosis and psychiatry and its patients in general. Lars Kepler, uma dupla que me fascinou desde o primeiro livro que li deles "Stalker" desde aí não parei.

We see the happily married couple enjoy a much-needed vacation together, while learning about Martin’s minor battle with mental illness.

El detective Joona Linna, que vuelve a hacer gala de métodos poco ortodoxos, contacta con el doctor Erik Maria Bark, el hipnotista que años antes ya le había dado la clave para una investigación. Aside from Joona, Kepler introduces two new characters who also serve as major actors in the mystery. Joona Linna roept de hulp in van hypnotiseur Erik Maria Bark, zodat de man onder hypnose zijn herinneringen weer kan oproepen. Valga como ejemplo sin ser el único, las circunstancias que conducen a la joven ahorcada en el parque infantil a acudir a dicho parque. The novel is very graphic and while I have come to expect that from Scandinavian thrillers, I felt the author was trying too hard to shock the reader as opposed to keeping the reader on the edge of their seats.
