The Mirror Man: The most chilling must-read thriller of 2023

Product Information

In this, the eighth book in the Killer Instincts series we find investigator Joona Linna on a case that starts with the abduction of a teenage girl who is found hanged in a playground five years later. Die Idee dahinter hätte wirklich interessant sein können, aber bei der Umsetzung hat es meiner Ansicht nach gehapert. Joona Linna, el protagonista, ya es un viejo conocido para los que hemos seguido las novelas de Lars Kepler. But is this new villain and mystery enough to keep the series fresh and keep if from starting to feel stale? As the police race to track down Jenny’s killer another young woman, Mia, goes missing and the tension really picks up a pace.

However, I believe reading the previous novels would reveal additional background and insights into Joona’s character growth as well as his family and work relationships. nun Mordfall sind mittlerweile erkaltet, zudem erweist sich die vielversprechendste Fährte vermeintlich als Sackgasse: ein Spaziergänger hat vermutlich den Mörder auf frischer Tat beobachtet, aufgrund eines schweren Traumas kann sich der mutmaßliche Zeuge aber nicht der Polizei mitteilen.Fast forward a few years later, and Jenny turns up dead, and the police’s only witness, Martin, who may be able to unlock the whole case, can’t remember anything from the night she was killed.

The ability of Kepler to ratchet up the tension en route to a stunning reveal and an eminently fair solution is remarkable. Fall 8 ist aber keine direkte Fortsetzung von "Der Hypnotiseur", sondern greift lediglich die Figur von Erik Maria Bark nochmal auf.This added to the characters’ intrigue and made their dark, twisted actions all the more intriguing. An diesem Punkt schließt sich nun der Kreis zu den Anfängen der Reihe, denn "Der Spiegelmann" beschert Leser:innen ein Wiedersehen mit Erik Maria Bark, dem Therapeuten aus dem Auftaktband "Der Hypnotiseur". How do they keep their readers interested, while also providing the same types of stories that drew them in the first place?

Er zijn meerdere verhaallijnen en eentje daarvan is de verdwijning van Jenny, een meisje dat vijf jaar later dood wordt gevonden. Zum Ende hin wird es richtig dramatisch und das Autorenpaar zaubert eine überraschende Auflösung aus dem Hut, die inhaltlich zwar überzeugt, in gewisser Hinsicht aber etwas problematisch erscheint (Stichwort: psychische Erkrankungen) und dadurch einen störenden Beigeschmack bekommt. That aside, Caesar is a great addition to the cast of villains Kepler has created, competing with them in darkness and depravity in a whole new way. 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. Lars Kepler brings action, suspense, and heart-wrenching moments to The Mirror Man, the eighth novel in the Joona Linna Killer Instinct series.

Detective Joona Linna is on the trail of a kidnapper who targets teenage girls and makes their worst nightmares a reality. Lars Kepler, uma dupla que me fascinou desde o primeiro livro que li deles "Stalker" desde aí não parei. Things need to change from book to book to keep the story and characters moving and developing, but change things too much and you may lose readers. When Jenny Lind, who was kidnapped five years earlier, is found hanging from a jungle gym in a local park, police are eager to find the culprit.
