Sin embargo, su cerebro, destrozado por una serie de traumas, ha decidido dejar de registrar el horror y no puede recordar nada. Nuimu žvaigždę už nuklydimą į nusikalstamą pasaulį / šunų peštynių ringą, kuris nelabai ko davė siužetui ir toks jausmas, kad įdėtas vien dėl šokiravimo. I am fussy about technique and writing style so will tire quickly of poorly written drivel no matter how compelling the story.

Keen eyed readers of this book series will notice by now that this review has yet to mention a certain character. Zwar sind für das Verständnis des Falls keine großen Vorkenntnisse nötig, komplette Neueinsteiger dürften an vielen Punkten aber einige kleine bis mittelgroße Fragezeichen vor den Augen haben. Seventeen-year-old Jenny is abducted in broad daylight and taken to a dilapidated, isolated house where she is chained and caged along with several other girls. 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.Etwas störend ist auch, dass die Ahndorils zwar immer wieder auf Ereignisse aus den Vorgängern anspielen oder auch bekannte Figuren in die Geschichte einbinden, dabei aber wenig Erklärungen für Leser:innen liefern, die entweder neu in die Reihe einsteigen oder nicht mehr alle Zusammenhänge parat haben. A huge page turner with a haunting and creepy plot, an ending that I actually didn't work out in advance (very unusual for me these days) and some superbly engaging characters The Mirror Man is one of those novels you devour because every time you go to put it aside something happens that pulls you back in. The book opens with a scene that throws us headfirst into the story, with the abduction of a young woman, Jenny Lind.

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. But when two of the victims are found to have disturbing connections to Detective Joona Linna, it becomes clear that there’s a single killer at work. This is a mammoth crime novel and not a quick read, but it manage to maintain pace and tension well given its length. The police start to track the killer, and this only puts pressure on the killer who will stop at nothing.Yet it never ever came close to losing me as a reader and actually pushed me forward wanting to know those answers and as I said everything is delivered in a very convincing way.

Parts of the book are great, I would very much like to know what happens at the end and I think I could have warmed to some of the characters. But is this new villain and mystery enough to keep the series fresh and keep if from starting to feel stale? So werden munter menschliche Gliedmaßen abgetrennt, Polizeieinsätze erinnern an Szenen aus Kriegsgebieten, es kommt zu Vergewaltigungen und tödlichen Hundekämpfen.Vieles davon geht deutlich über ein für das Handlungsverständnis nötiges Maß hinaus und wirkt dadurch eher wie reiner Schockeffekt, zudem ist die Story auch ohne diese Gewaltorgien eigentlich spannend genug.

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. If like me you haven’t had the pleasure of reading this series, do not fret – you can read this book as a standalone. Me tuvo muy enganchada hasta sobrepasado el 80%, momento en el que algunas de las soluciones que plantea me empezaron a chirriar.When Jenny’s body is found hanging in a playground five years later, questions emerge as to where she has been and how she make it to the playground.
