The Fire Witness by Lars Kepler

The Fire Witness

A Joona Linna Thriller
by Lars Kepler
Hardcover, 512 pages

Psychologically tense and as fast-paced as The Hypnotist, the third book in the Joona Linna series by Lars Kepler is already a worldwide sensation, appealing to fans of Stieg Larsson and Jo Nesbo.

I don't know how they do it, but these Lars Kepler books just keep getting more dark, more intense and more deeply disturbing. I love them! You don't just read them and walk away, you go through every psychological twist and turn and are left contemplating what you have just read for days. Maybe weeks.

In this third Joona Linna novel, Detective Inspector Linna is facing sanctions for his previous behaviours and may even be looking at losing his job. Not one to rest for too long, he finds himself acting as observer in a brutal and complicated murder in a home for troubled young women.

His unofficial status both hampers and helps his ability to weave his way into the investigation and tries to figure out just what the hell happened and stop it from happening again.

Dark. Distubing. Brilliant.
