About this listen

 An alarm sounds in the middle of the night for a burglary in progress at a winter-closed campsite in Bredäng, outside Stockholm.

The police spot a light in one of the farthest caravans and when the officers open the door they are greeted by a horrific sight. Floors, walls and furniture are completely covered in blood. A man has been killed with an axe and brutally dismembered.

On the floor lies a young man sleeping with a severed arm as a pillow. He is arrested and taken to Kronoberg prison, identified as seventeen-year-old Hugo Sand, the son of a famous writer.

Hugo suffers from a rare sleepwalking condition that is activated by nightmares. He is either the perpetrator or a witness, but claims to remember nothing from the night.

Detective Joona Linna contacts her old friend Erik Maria Bark to use hypnosis to try to find out what happened inside the caravan. So begins the sleepless hunt for a serial killer who is only just getting started . . .©2025 Lars Kepler (P)2025 Bonnier Books UK Crime Thrillers International Mystery & Crime Mystery Police Procedurals Psychological Suspense Thriller & Suspense

Whilst Saul Reichlin’s voice is sorely missed (as one of my favourite readers) Peter Noble deputised well. Another fine Joona Lina story.

I enjoyed the book but in my view it does not fill the shoes of the previous ones.

Too hard to beat the predecessors

I experienced a whole range of emotions listening to this book. Tension, horror, hope, relief and always trying to, and failing, to guess the ending. wonderful prose, superbly narrated. One of the best books I've read in this genre. The only negative, if I can call it that, is that sometimes I was desperate for the story to move forward faster!

Incredible plot and the writing style

Very enjoyable listen, good twists and turns and kept me guessing to the very end. The new narrator is also very good. I would definitely recommend if you are looking for a whodunnit thriller.

Twisted
