Well, I have a good tolerance for violence and graphic imagery and am most definitely not prudish, squeamish or overly sensitive; however, I am not comfortable when this difficult content feels gratuitous, which it did in this book. bestselling international sensation, whose Joona Linna thrillers have sold more than 12 million copies in 40 languages. I'm tempted to go back to the first book in the series to fill in a few of the blanks about the main detective, Joona. Assim sendo, Jenny Lind, uma jovem adolescente, é raptada quando ia a caminho de casa, passado 5 anos é encontrada morta num parque infantil num cenário grotesco.
Our main hero Joona Linna the lead detective does not even appear for a while as the table is being set so to speak. When you’re eight books into a series (even though the books are are more or less counted as “stand-alones") it gets difficult to discuss a book without bringing up spoilers. Gritty, thought provoking and unashamedly violent at times this book could be a difficult read for the uninitiated but to Kepler fans it’s nectar.My 5 star review of this crime drama will be posted 3-4 days after it appears in Mystery and Suspense Magazine. But I’ve seen very little representation of characters with DID in pop culture, one of them being the movie Split with James McAvoy.
The narrative is strong and keeps me connected throughout, with mid-length chapters to leave me demanding more. But Detective Joona Linna realizes that this murder has an eerie connection to a death that was declared a suicide years before. That being said, he cannot shake some of his personal issues, which shape all that he has become, making the stories all the more engrossing.I have to admit, The Mirror Man is the first novel by Lars Kepler that I’ve read, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Detective Joona Linna is on the trail of a kidnapper who targets teenage girls and makes their worst nightmares a reality. After the events of Lazarus, The Mirror Man sees him struggling to reconnect with his daughter due to her seeing him kill Jurek Walter. It is not clear how much time has passed between books, but The Mirror Man sees Joona Linna back to working full-time as a police detective as he encounters a new, dark mystery dating back several years.
Am Ende wird zwar alles aufgelöst, aber ich fand es einfach zu viel, zu unrealistisch und unlogisch. I thought the ending was really well done and I could feel the emotions the characters were going through as Lars Kepler wraps the story up. This wouldn't have bothered me as much if it hadn't been for over-the-top graphic violence verging on torture porn that associates mental health issues with appalling violence and abuse. As personagens são interessantes, as mulheres presas e abusadas são as que mais dão sumo à história, Martin e Pamela são as mais elaboradas e densas, dando a coesão a toda a narrativa.After giving 5 stars to the previous book in this series I am bummed to give so few stars to this one here, but it's just the way it has to be as Mirror Man was uneven at best and needlessly crude and uninspired at its worst. Making Martin’s mental illness a key plot point is a risky move in a crime novel, but he is mostly treated with care and thoughtfulness. As the story continues, and the depths of his depravity become known, we also learn that Caesar continually rapes and murders countless girls, kidnapping more and more. I didn't love the writing and thought it was quite simple at times with the majority of sentences beginning with basic pronouns. Sin embargo, su cerebro, destrozado por una serie de traumas, ha decidido dejar de registrar el horror y no puede recordar nada.
Kepler never holds back when it comes to the gore, but this book especially was 😳😳😳 Definitely not for the faint of heart but we love to see it !We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. 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.
Great Deal
