The Mirror Man: A Psychological Thriller Novel (Killer Instinct Series) - Perfect for Crime Fiction Lovers & Book Club Discussions

I. Loved. It!In this, the eighth book in the Killer Instincts series we find investigator Joona Linna on a case that starts with the abduction of a teenage girl who is found hanged in a playground five years later. When another girl goes missing the abduction has all the earmarks of the first and Joona decides they're the work of a serial killer. Determined to find the killer/killers Joona convinces his supervisor to let him stay on the case. When Joona gets his teeth into a case, like a rabid dog he won't let go.The action and suspense come fast and furious with every clue that Joona uncovers. The case takes him to some pretty dark places both in his psyche and seedy locations. The scenes are so well described that you feel Joona's angst as well as feeling like a fly on the wall in every scene. I really thought I had this one figured out pretty quickly but boy was I wrong! The scenes leading up to the climax are terrifying and intense, but like coming across an accident I couldn't look away. Like all of the other books in this series, this one is self contained and can be read as a stand-alone as there are no loose ends left to tie up. That said, the very last lines give you a clue as to what to expect in the next book and I can't wait for it to come out. If you're a fan of police procedurals or Nordic crime thrillers and haven't discovered this series yet, I implore you to check it out!!
