Lazarus

Lazarus is the seventh book in the Joona Linna series and in it past behaviors and people are having an impact in the present. When some of the most despicable criminals are brutally murdered, the police are hesitant to investigate. However, soon a connection between the victims and Linna is discovered. It is up to Linna, with help from Saga Bauer, to catch the killer while at the same time minimizing the cost to themselves and others.

Lars Kepler has done it again. What a treat it would be to witness this husband and wife writing duo during their work sessions because they create some of the most interesting detectives, intriguing cases, and frightening fictional serial killers that you will find in the popular thriller genre. Although Lazarus can be read as a stand alone novel, the reader will be missing out on build up and character development that cannot be adequately summarized in this gritty, gripping, and shocking instalment.
