#joona linna

[anordinarywriterr]

I always loved the little details of joona linna the way his eyes perk up when he identified with something the way his eyes melt when he sees the people he wanted to protect the way he wants to protect the strangers he vowed to protect as a detective when he couldn't save his family from a very cruel fate which was not in his hands even, the way he gets so frustrated when he doesn't pick on the clues that keep him going omg can u see that I love him

The mirror man - Lars Kepler (MY REVIEW)

The synopsis:

She's taken to a dilapidated house, where she and other girls face horrors far beyond their worst nightmares. Though they're desperate to escape, their captor foils everyone of their attempts.

My review:

09/03/23 - 15/03/23

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Spoilers ahead!

Oh god this book was amazing!! It was the perfect mix of horror and thriller, with heavy crime elements. It was my first Lars Kepler book (and certainly not my last) But since the couple published the hypnotist in 2012, people have been saying they write the scariest Scandinavian books around!! Hats off to them, Their writing was brilliant. This is the 8th Instalment in their “Joona Linna” Crime series, However can and has been read as a stand alone by me!

One thing I enjoyed about this book, was the portrayal of PTSD (And other mental illnesses that I won’t list or it will spoil the book, like literally the whole plot.) This book explores what it’s like to live with these illnesses, And some of the fatal consequences of that. As somebody who suffers from a few of these, I am glad to see an accurate representation of it finally shown in the media.

HOWEVER, As much as I loved this book, it might not be for everyone. There are heavy descriptions of blood, gore and violence throughout (Which you would expect from a thriller/horror). Please google trigger warnings, as there are also mentions of rape, torture, brutal murders, kidnappings (and more.)

This personally didn’t bother me, I thought it was written and handled very well, It also made the story just as terrifying. I got freaked out quite a few times from this book, so that’s when you KNOW the authors writing is good :)

If you are looking for a fast paced, short chaptered terrifying thriller then this one is for you!!

joona linna going through it all, denial, frustration, self doubting thoughts which shows that he is not invincible, emotionless and is just a human showing vulnerabilities throughout the ninth book was needed, and then picked his pieces up and pieced the mystery, he shed a tear when his lady called him love, and came to peace within himself that the darkness may never dim the light in his heart.

The Sandman by: Lars Kepler

4.5 stars out of 5

The #1 internationally best-selling thriller from the author of The Hypnotist tells the chilling story of a manipulative serial killer and the two brilliant police agents who must try to beat him at his own game. Late one night, outside Stockholm, Mikael Kohler-Frost is found wandering. Thirteen years earlier, he went missing along with his younger sister. They were long thought to have been victims of Sweden's most notorious serial killer, Jurek Walter, now serving a life sentence in a maximum security psychiatric hospital. Now Mikael tells the police that his sister is still alive and being held by someone he knows only as the Sandman. Years ago, Detective Inspector Joona Linna made an excruciating personal sacrifice to ensure Jurek's capture. He is keenly aware of what this killer is capable of, and now he is certain that Jurek has an accomplice. He knows that any chance of rescuing Mikael's sister depends on getting Jurek to talk, and that the only agent capable of this is Inspector Saga Bauer, a twenty-seven-year-old prodigy. She will have to go under deep cover in the psychiatric ward where Jurek is imprisoned, and she will have to find a way to get to the psychopath before it's too late--and before he gets inside her head.

“Jurek will do anything he can to escape,” Joona says in a somber voice. “You cannot let that happen. You’re like a sister to me, Saga, but it would be better if you died than if he got out.”

I usually cannot stand to read a book in the middle of a series without reading the prior novels first. However, I made an exception with The Sandman and I'm very happy with my choice. Although this is the fourth in Kepler's series, in the US it is being released first. I decided to go with it after reading reviews that said I'd have no problem. I am pleased to report they were right. The Sandman can be read as a standalone. Good luck, though. Because I now need to read all of Kepler's other novels. I'll be reading The Hypnotist in July.

This book was dark and twisted and quite possibly, dare I say it, fucked up! Damn, is it a great read! There are some scenes that get graphic and violent. I did find myself cringing at times, but that kind of thing doesn't bother me. The chapters are short and keep the plot moving rather quickly. Each chapter something happens to make it impossible not to read the next. Trust me when I say this is a very fast-paced book. There are multiple perspectives giving us extra insight to everything. I think I enjoyed Saga the most!

When Mikael Kohler-Frost is found wandering on a railroad bridge, Inspector Joona Linna is called in. The thing is..Mikael went missing thirteen years earlier with his sister. There were officially declared dead seven years ago. Where has Mikael been all this time?! And where is his sister?

The killer, Jurek Walter, has been locked up in a secure criminal psychology unit at a hospital. But Mikael says his sister is still alive and being held captive by "The Sandman." This was Joona Linna's case. And it's a personal one for him. No one scares him, or anyone, more than Jurek Walter. But they have to send someone in to get answers out of him if they want to find Mikael's sister. The plan is to send in Inspector Saga Bauer undercover as a psychiatric patient, but she'll have to work quickly.

I was glued to the pages. My only complaints involved the couple of loose ends that I'm sure are resolved in the sequel. Oh and at one point, one character was just plain stupid out of nowhere. It's surprising this has two authors with how it reads. I am very excited to read more from the husband/wife writing team known as Lars Kepler.
