![]() ![]() This repeats a few times as things progress. The author gives a sharp tug to pull you into the book with the first chapter and then eases up. It’s a story a bit like horseriding, with the reader being the horse. As a result of having so much detail and life added to the story, it does feel long at times. Although there is a lot going on, it all ties together nicely by the end. ![]() It’s a multifaceted story that’s full of flawed, realistic individuals. Thus, the reader is investigating it as if they are the detective on the case. There are several other narrators, but never the killer. He does this by not narrating from the murderer’s perspective at all. The question we really need to answer is who did that killer grow up to be? With complex characters and a meandering path, Sveistrup guides the reader to the answer better than just about any other mystery/thriller author I’ve come across. ![]() This novel is especially outstanding because the author does tell you who the killer is almost straight from the get-go, at least who the killer -was. ![]()
