About this listen
HE’LL STEAL YOU IN YOUR SLEEP
The fourth gripping serial killer thriller in the No.1 bestselling Joona Linna series. Perfect for fans of Jo Nesbo.
HE’S SWEDEN’S MOST PROLIFIC SERIAL KILLER.
Jurek Walter is serving a life sentence. Kept in solitary confinement, he is still considered extremely dangerous by psychiatric staff.
HE’LL LULL YOU INTO A SENSE OF CALM.
Mikael knows him as “the sandman”. Seven years ago, he was taken from his bed along with his sister. They are both presumed dead.
HE HAS ONE TARGET LEFT.
When Mikael is discovered on a railway line, close to death, the hunt begins for his sister. To get to the truth, Detective Inspector Joona Linna will need to get closer than ever to the man who stripped him of a family; the man who wants Linna dead.

Good book from Lars, not his best
Any additional comments?
Another good thriller from Lars, wouldn't say its his best, it is slow at times which isn't expected in a Kepler book. I did enjoy the read and the story was very interesting and nice to know more back ground into his other books. Would recommend if you've read the others, if not then start at the beginning of his books first!

Chilling story
Good intonation by the narrator adds to the already compelling story. Kepler always keeps you on the edge of your seat, and this is no different.

This is a nerve shredder!
I enjoyed this from start to finish, the story moved well and held my attention to the end. Perhaps a little far fetched in places but didn't matter as I was immersed in this story.
Plenty of suspense, surprises and action set in a really gloomy world..
Performance was impeccable, well read and a good pace.
I enjoyed thoroughly.

Grisly tale
But I love this narrator, he makes you feel what he’s saying. A different story, keeps you wanting to know what happens next. It’s the quickest I’ve listened to a book in a while. Good author and excellent narrator what more could you want.

Terrifying
Saul Reichlin is a master of foreign-language thriller audio, and he's used to really scary effect in this Scandi-horror with a kick-ass heroine and an even more kick-ass hero. The villain is the most frightening yet in the series. Must-listen
