The eighth gripping thriller in Lars Kepler's bestselling series featuring Joona Linna。


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。 Their captor is unpredictable， and as wily as he is cruel: he foils every one of their desperate attempts to escape 。 。 。 and once caught， they rarely survive their punishment。

Five years later， Jenny is found dead in a public park， and the police are scrambling to find a lead among the scant evidence。 But Detective Joona Linna realizes that this murder has an eerie connection to a death that was declared a suicide years before。 When Mia， a seventeen-year-old orphan， goes missing， it becomes clear to Joona that they are dealing with a serial killer--whose murderous rampage has just begun。

As the police close in on the killer， Mia and her fellow captives are plunged into ever greater danger， and Joona finds himself in a seemingly impossible race against time to save their young lives。

Dina ，

Jeg likte denne boka utrolig godt， og vil kanskje gi den så mye som 4，4/5。 Det var en spennende bok gjennom hele og jeg liker veldig godt måten som Kepler skriver på， og har lest en del av de før også。 Den siste delen av boka var i hvert fall spennende， og de sidene raste unna。 Vanskelig å legge fra seg， var så utrolig spennende og innvikla på den beste måten。 Elsket det man fant ut til slutt， og hele det psykologiske og alt。。 bare et kjempe verk på mange måter。 Ekkel， interresant， fascinerende， Jeg likte denne boka utrolig godt， og vil kanskje gi den så mye som 4，4/5。 Det var en spennende bok gjennom hele og jeg liker veldig godt måten som Kepler skriver på， og har lest en del av de før også。 Den siste delen av boka var i hvert fall spennende， og de sidene raste unna。 Vanskelig å legge fra seg， var så utrolig spennende og innvikla på den beste måten。 Elsket det man fant ut til slutt， og hele det psykologiske og alt。。 bare et kjempe verk på mange måter。 Ekkel， interresant， fascinerende， mystisk og spennende。 Alt på den beste mulige måten 。。。more

Väldigt obehaglig bok men oj så bra！ Bästa Kepler sen Stalker enligt mig。 Och vilket avslut！ Där kan man snacka cliffhanger…

Thank you Knopf for the gifted copy。Without a doubt， Lars Kepler’s Joona Linna series is my favorite series despite how dark and disturbing it is。 I just love not only the storylines that this husband-wife writing team comes up with but also the writing itself – it is so completely captivating and thrilling。This latest book is probably the darkest and most gruesome of the entire series and while I still loved it， I found myself having to take little breaks throughout。 It was a lot to take in and Thank you Knopf for the gifted copy。Without a doubt， Lars Kepler’s Joona Linna series is my favorite series despite how dark and disturbing it is。 I just love not only the storylines that this husband-wife writing team comes up with but also the writing itself – it is so completely captivating and thrilling。This latest book is probably the darkest and most gruesome of the entire series and while I still loved it， I found myself having to take little breaks throughout。 It was a lot to take in and very intense at times…yet I could think of nothing else but this story。 These books are most definitely not for the faint of heart What I love about these books， as I have found throughout this entire series， is that these books get under your skin。 Not only are there the horrific horrors going on here， but there is also the attachment to the main characters that I have seen grow and develop throughout the series。I absolutely love Joona Linna’s character。 He is relentless in his pursuit of solving cases and whether this is a strength or a weakness， he doesn’t give up until there is a resolution。 His stubbornness at times gets in his way， but at other times is his greatest asset。 But as much as I love our protagonist， I also love that the authors fully develop their villains。 This allows us to really know them and possibly even feel empathetic towards them at times。I loved all the twists and turns that this book takes。 It definitely has all the elements of a great NordicNoir that I’ve come to love and expect – there’s the serial killer， the violence， the atmospheric nature， and of course， there are flawed characters – and there were even a few elements I wasn’t expecting that really enhanced the story。I cannot recommend this series enough。 It is a fast-paced and complex story that totally delivers on every level。 The tension remains high throughout， and the final chapter will leave you once again eagerly counting down til the next book…and I have no idea when that will be。 But I do know that at least there will be another one。 In the meantime…grab this one – you won’t be disappointed！You can see all my reviews at: https://www。alwayswithabook。com/ 。。。more

https://fictionmajorette。blogspot。com。。。Like many police procedural series， the mystery in this book is self contained。 There are a number of references to outside events that happened in what seemed like the previous book and while I didn't know what， exactly， the characters were referencing， there were enough context clues that allowed me to get the gist of what happened。 Also， these other references didn't have any impact on the current case Joona is investigating so they were really more so https://fictionmajorette。blogspot。com。。。Like many police procedural series， the mystery in this book is self contained。 There are a number of references to outside events that happened in what seemed like the previous book and while I didn't know what， exactly， the characters were referencing， there were enough context clues that allowed me to get the gist of what happened。 Also， these other references didn't have any impact on the current case Joona is investigating so they were really more so for some character development and background info。 I really loved the characters in this book and how interconnected they all became by the end。 In the beginning few chapters， we did hop around to a few different characters and it made the story feel a bit disjointed because it wasn't obvious how any of the characters were connected。 However， as the investigation progressed the ties and connections became increasingly obvious and I really loved how they all came together in the end。 Each of the characters we follow was very unique and well developed so I never felt like any of them were just 'extra'。In the beginning， the writing style did take some getting used to。 A lot of the sentence structure， particularly early in the book， was very basic and repetitive - for example: "Character A does X。 Character A does Y。 Character A goes to H and does Z。" Now I know every author has their particular style and this is a translated work so maybe that narration style is more common in the native Swedish but I've read my fair share of Nordic Noir translated works and this one stood out to me as being a little extra dry and simplistic in the writing style。 As the book progressed， about after the 30% mark or so， I noticed those sort of simplistic sentences showing up less and less and the narrative took on a style that didn't really have much outstanding defining characteristics。 The narrative style faded into the background and let the plot and characters come through。The thriller aspects of this book really elevated this book for me。 I've said before that I'm a big fan of police procedurals but I can understand how other readers find them boring and dry。 I think the POV choices as well as how much of the violence and torture we're shown really amped up the tension because the reader knows that the Joona is investigating the case but none of the girls believe they'll be rescued。 Also， we see some of them try to escape like we know Jenny was able to - at least until she was caught again and killed - so the reader also knows they probably won't make it if they try to escape but understands that they don't know that。 I do want to touch on a main reveal that revolves around a certain mental health diagnosis。 This is just my pet peeve， but I really dislike when this certain diagnosis is used in this way。 I personally think it is a cheep and overdone twist and while I personally do not have this diagnosis， I've seen many people who are diagnosed speak out against using that diagnosis in this type of way。Overall， this was a really great detective story and it really solidified my feelings that I should start this series from the beginning。 Great characters， good balance between the investigation and more thriller-y elements， good balance between keeping the mystery self contained in this book but also having connections to the previous books in the series。Thanks NetGalley and Knopf Doubleday for the ARCExpected publication day is January 18， 2022（originally published October 19， 2020 in Swedish） 。。。more

Thank you so much to Knopf Publishing， Penguin Audio， and Lars Kelper for my copy of The Mirror Man。 This book was so dark and creepy and I loved it。 It’s about a serial killer who puts girls through unspeakable horror。 When one of his victims is found five years after her abduction hung up in a park， the police realize there is a creepy connection to a death that was declared a suicide。 Then another girl goes missing， and Joona Linna is on the case。 The police start to track the killer， and thi Thank you so much to Knopf Publishing， Penguin Audio， and Lars Kelper for my copy of The Mirror Man。 This book was so dark and creepy and I loved it。 It’s about a serial killer who puts girls through unspeakable horror。 When one of his victims is found five years after her abduction hung up in a park， the police realize there is a creepy connection to a death that was declared a suicide。 Then another girl goes missing， and Joona Linna is on the case。 The police start to track the killer， and this only puts pressure on the killer who will stop at nothing。Thoughts: This book was truly horrifying。 There were so many unspeakable horrors that went on， so be aware there are trigger warnings for rape， abuse， and violence。 This was the quintessential nordic noir and really had dark and eerie vibes。 Lars Kepler always does an amazing job and this is no exception。 The story builds in such a perfect way that you can’t help but be sucked in to the story。I switched between reading and the audio， and I have to say the narrator did an amazing job。 His voices fit the characters so well and really helped me get the feel of the story。 AND THE TWIST。 I thought I knew what was going on。 I laughed to myself about how transparent the twist was going to be。 BUT NO。 It wasn’t what I thought at all and I loved that。 This book was wonderful and perfect for anyone who likes a dark and terrifying thriller。 5-stars！ 。。。more

Je n’ai pas lu les autres de la série， et ça n’a pas vraiment nuit à ma lecture。 Toutefois， ça m’aurait sans doute aidée de connaître davantage le personnage de Joona。Je lis peu de polar， mais j’aime en dévorer un de temps en temps。 J’ai apprécié ma lecture même si ce n’est pas un coup de cœur。 L’intrigue est complexe et je n’ai pas deviné la fin avant la toute toute fin。

„Człowiek w lustrze” to 8 tom z cyklu „z komisarzem Jooną Linną”。 Niesamowicie mocna i mroczna książka。 Nie nadaje się dla czytelników o słabych nerwach。To było moje pierwsze czytelnicze spotkanie z Jooną Linną。 Po tej lekturze już wiem， że chętnie przeczytam pozostałe tomy。 Thriller „Człowiek w lustrze” od samego początku trzyma w napięciu。 Emocje: strach i przerażenie nie opadają do samego końca。 Czytałam ją z zapartym tchem。 Chciałam poznać zakończenie。 Czy wszystko dobrze się skończy？Nastola „Człowiek w lustrze” to 8 tom z cyklu „z komisarzem Jooną Linną”。 Niesamowicie mocna i mroczna książka。 Nie nadaje się dla czytelników o słabych nerwach。To było moje pierwsze czytelnicze spotkanie z Jooną Linną。 Po tej lekturze już wiem， że chętnie przeczytam pozostałe tomy。 Thriller „Człowiek w lustrze” od samego początku trzyma w napięciu。 Emocje: strach i przerażenie nie opadają do samego końca。 Czytałam ją z zapartym tchem。 Chciałam poznać zakończenie。 Czy wszystko dobrze się skończy？Nastolatka Jenny Lind zostaje porwana w drodze ze szkoły do domu。 Porwał ją kierowca ciężarówki， który uwaga jechał na polskich blachach。 Przypadek？ A może celowe zagranie pary szwedzkich autorów ukrywających się pod pseudonimem Lars Kepler？ Niestety żywej Jenny nigdy nie odnaleziono。 Mija 5 lat od jej zaginięcia。 Na placu zabaw w centrum Sztokholmu zostaje znalezione ciało dziewczyny。 Dodam， że porwanych dziewczyn jest znacznie więcej。 Żyją w przerażających warunkach。 Dlaczego ktoś je porywa？ Czy naszej pani komisarz uda się je ocalić？ Czy zostaną znalezione kolejne zwłoki？ Kto porywa， przetrzymuje i morduje biedne i niewinne dziewczyny？ Czy hipnoza zaproponowana naocznemu świadkowi przyniesie oczekiwane skutki？ Czy raczej sprawi， że wyzwoli się ukryte zło？ Kto skrzywdził tak mocno naszego sprawcę lub sprawców， że stało się to co się stało？ Na to pytanie próbuje znaleźć odpowiedź nasza główna bohaterka。 Czy wygra nierówną walkę z czasem？ Czy jej życie również będzie zagrożone？Ta powieść to doskonały thriller z rewelacyjną dawką adrenaliny。 Po tej lekturze nie tak łatwo zasnąć。 Będziecie przerażeni。 Podoba mi się pióro Lars Keplera。 Znakomita ambrozja dla wszystkich fanów dobrych i bardzo dobrych thrillerów。 Jest zbrodnia， jest ofiara， jest morderca （lub są mordercy） i jest znakomite śledztwo。 Nie brakuje tutaj intryg i mylnych tropów。 Podobało mi się zakończenie。 Dziękuję Lars Kepler za poruszenie ważnego i brutalnego tematu – przemoc seksualna wobec kobiet。 Każdego roku z rąk mężczyzn ginie mnóstwo kobiet w różnym wieku。 Duża część z nich przed śmiercią jest więziona， torturowana i gwałcona。 Niestety to się dzieje na naszych oczach。 Dlatego nie bójcie się prosić o pomoc。 Polecam ten znakomity thriller nie tylko fanom tego gatunku。 Przeczytajcie a nie pożałujecie。 。。。more
