Synopsis

#1 INTERNATIONAL BEST SELLER • Detective Joona Linna is on the trail of a kidnapper who targets teenage girls and makes their worst nightmares a reality.
 
"Dark, disturbing, and chillingly relentless. Picture Hannibal Lecter sitting down to channel Stieg Larsson and then dial it way, way up!" —Brad Thor, #1 New York Times best-selling author of Black Ice

Sixteen-year-old Jenny Lind is kidnapped in broad daylight on her way home from school and thrown into the back of a truck. She’s taken to a dilapidated house, where she and other girls face horrors far beyond their worst nightmares. Though they’re desperate to escape, their captor foils everyone of their attempts.
 
Five years later, Jenny’s body is found hanging in a playground, strung up with a winch on a rainy night. As the police are scrambling to find a lead in the scant evidence, Detective Joona Linna recognizes an eerie connection between Jenny’s murder and a death declared a suicide years before. And when another teenage girl goes missing, it becomes clear to Joona that they’re dealing with a serial killer—and his murderous rampage may have just begun.

Goodreads review by PamG on December 06, 2021

Lars Kepler brings action, suspense, and heart-wrenching moments to The Mirror Man, the eighth novel in the Joona Linna Killer Instinct series. This is an unforgettable police procedural and crime thriller set in Sweden. Lars Kepler is the pseudonym for the husband and wife writing team of Alexa......more

Goodreads review by Kelsi on April 07, 2022

For some unfathomable reason, I’ve read the entire Joona Linna series out of order. The Mirror Man is the most recent, and potentially the darkest out of the eight books currently released in the series. This probably would’ve been a five star read, if not for the grotesque dog fight scene that near......more

Goodreads review by Luna on November 20, 2023

Consider me a new big fan! My first Lars Kepler novel but it was the 8th in the series. It is a stand alone and there is some good background info but I would have liked to have started at the beginning. Yet it was so good I did order the first in line and will be delving into the series in its enti......more

Goodreads review by Kristina on October 16, 2024

3* su uodega Muzikoje yra toks išsireiškimas "stacatto",būtent tokiu tempu ir sakinių skambesiu ir vystėsi istorija... "+" už pradžią, sukėlusią šiurpuliukus, už neatspėtą pabaigą (nors buvau per plauko storį netoli:) "-" seniai skaitytos kitos dalys trukdė prisiminti įtrauktą Linos praeitį ir suprasti......more

Goodreads review by Майя on May 13, 2022

In fact, it's a great book, four stars just because giving a five to a detective about a maniac (if it's not "The Silence of the Lambs") is nonsense. But it's great within the genre. A married couple of beautiful Swedish writers with the same name for two, writing under the pseudonym Lars Kepler, ma......more


Quotes

"Dark, disturbing, and chillingly relentless. Picture Hannibal Lecter sitting down to channel Stieg Larsson and then dial it way, way up!" 
Brad Thor, #1 New York Times best-selling author of Black Ice

“Chilling, nerve-shredding, clever, and impossibly dark. Lars Kepler has that rare ability to take you to the very edge, and hold you there until the final page.” 
—Chris Whitaker, New York Times best-selling author of We Begin at the End
 
“As dark and chilling as a Swedish winter, Lars Kepler’s The Mirror Man is a riveting read. Joona Linna finds himself up against his most dangerous adversary yet—a kidnapper of girls whose cruelty throws back a reflection of the deepest kind of human evil. Those who love their Scandinavian crime fiction intense, twisty, and psychologically terrifying will be unable to put this one down.”
—Gregg Hurwitz, New York Times #1 internationally best-selling author of the Orphan X series

"Stellar.... The ability of Kepler (the pen name of Alexander and Alexandra Ahndoril) to ratchet up the tension en route to a stunning reveal and an eminently fair solution is remarkable. This merits comparisons with the best of Thomas Harris." Publishers Weekly (starred)

"A bar-raising entry in a series that unfailingly blends streamlined plotting, smart psychological suspense, and explosive conclusions with gritty portrayals of human evil."Booklist
