A review by dallas_shattuck
The Sandman by Lars Kepler

5.0

WHY DID NOBODY TELL ME TO READ THIS SOONER?!

This crime fiction read was so good! It was dark, gritty, suspenseful, and kept me guessing! I loved the multiple points-of-view and short chapters; I flew through the 500+ pages in like 1 day.

I loved how the story progressed and wrapped up at the end (while also leaving some unanswered questions for the next book in the series). Of note, this is the first book I’ve read in Joona Linna series, and I didn’t feel lost. So you can definitely read it as a stand-alone.

If you’re looking for a great Nordic noir, crime fiction book, then definitely check this one out!

Now, excuse me while I buy every other book in this series......
