About this deal

When you’re eight books into a series (even though the books are are more or less counted as “stand-alones") it gets difficult to discuss a book without bringing up spoilers. Five years later, Jenny is found dead in a public park, and the police are scrambling to find a lead among the scant evidence.

As the story continues, and the depths of his depravity become known, we also learn that Caesar continually rapes and murders countless girls, kidnapping more and more. I have long come to enjoy the work of Lars Kepler, especially with the detailed narrative and strong storyline.With the release of The Mirror Man in English earlier this year, this series is now eight novels deep and still going strong. Gritty, thought provoking and unashamedly violent at times this book could be a difficult read for the uninitiated but to Kepler fans it’s nectar. While he is highly unorthodox, using illegal drugs to get through the day, his ability to investigate is like no other. The police start to track the killer, and this only puts pressure on the killer who will stop at nothing.

It sometimes reads like scene settings for a tv/ movie film with lots of incidental information added that lends nothing to the story I think. After the events of Lazarus, The Mirror Man sees him struggling to reconnect with his daughter due to her seeing him kill Jurek Walter. Pamela and Martin Nordström are introduced in the early chapters, five years prior to the main events of the novel, around the same time Jenny Lind first goes missing. Jenny Lind wurde an einem Klettergerüst erhängt, letzte Rettungsversuche einer zufällig vorbeigehenden Zeugin waren erfolglos.The well-written story and the incredible characters, combined with unnerving action, culminates in an astounding conclusion. I’ve heard a lot of praise for this series over the past few years, and now, I can certainly see why. Damit sind die Ahndorils aber im Krimi- und Thrillergenre nicht alleine, vielmehr handelt es sich um ein häufig auftretendes Problem. Saga appears exactly twice in The Mirror Man, once during the epilogue to set up the next book, and has only one line of dialogue.

The book opens with a scene that throws us headfirst into the story, with the abduction of a young woman, Jenny Lind. After giving 5 stars to the previous book in this series I am bummed to give so few stars to this one here, but it's just the way it has to be as Mirror Man was uneven at best and needlessly crude and uninspired at its worst.Something like The Wheel of Time has more than fourteen entries, while The Dresden Files received its seventeenth entry in 2020. Crime enthusiasts and thriller fans may want to check out this series if they can handle the triggers. The authors laid clever clues throughout the book, as the pace was intensified and characters unravelled. 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. Kartais šiose knygose esama rizikos, kad šitaip užkėlę baisybių kartelę autoriai nebežinos, kaip pabaigti, bet čia kažkaip fainai išsisuko.

relação a toda a conclusão do crime, os Lars prezam sempre por uma solução pacífica e que acabe tudo bem. Five years later, Jenny is found dead in a public park, and the police are hitting dead ends in their efforts to find her killer. Lars Kepler brings action, suspense, and heart-wrenching moments to The Mirror Man, the eighth novel in the Joona Linna Killer Instinct series.

Like I said these authors keep things smooth but the setting of the table took some time and hopped around a bit. Lars Kepler is the pseudonym for the husband and wife writing team of Alexander Ahndoril and Alexandra Coelho Ahndoril.
