"I found that I enjoyed this book much more than the Hypnotist. The plot did not get side tracked like in their first book. The plot was intriguing. The character is very interesting and I would like there to be more about him. The book is focused primarily on the crime." — Judy (4 out of 5 stars)

" After reading the hypnotist this was a HUGE HUGE HUGE let down. I could not put down the hypnotist and read the over 500 page book in days this one took me 3 weeks... It had so much extra full in it that was not needed. So really if you loved the hypnotist like I did don't read this one or you will be disappointed! "
" I liked the plot, and I liked the way the story was build up. A definitive high point ... "
" Fantastic read, intelligent, highly descriptive with great twists in the plot. "
" Better than "l'hypnotiseur"... "
" A quick read, the first book in this series was quite dark, like the first book of the Millennium series. But this book was a mostly a straight up caper. Enjoyable though. "
" An excellent book. Still searching for the new Stieg Larsson, but Kepler get's close to it. "
" Great read. Even better than The Hypnotist! Fast paced. Many plot twists. Well crafted story. Bravo! "
" Good, not great.. if you love Scandinavian crime fiction put it on your 'to read' shelf, otherwise its probably not for you. "
" Infinitely better than 'The Hypnotist' - mind you, that wouldn't be hard. A racy plot, slightly better characterisation than its predecessor, but still a lot of superfluous violence. "
" For a long time I didn't know where the author was going with this book. It started off and finished at a fast pace but there were times in the middle that I seriously considered not finishing it. "
" Damn good for a mystery read. Not an ounce of fat. Interesting characters, excellent plotting, & enough politics & over-the-top action to keep the men interested too. "
" No where near as good as The Hypnotist. Disappointing. :( "
" crisp, present tense thriller very much in the Scandinavian noir mode. I gave this four stars for enjoyment value, so be aware of my bias toward this style and genre. "
" Read it in Swedish and I enjoyed it. It's not an amazing book, but it's hardly one I regret buying to read during a day of travelling. "
" I got this book Thursday Aug 2,2012. On page 163. If i didn't have to work, this book would be done. Hope to finish it Friday. "
" A little contrived in places. Not as good as his last book, The Hypnotist". Interesting setting in Sweden and some interesting characters--although a little improbable. "
" I like this Swedish author almost as much as Stieg Larson. "
