The dark hours are a Stalker’s best friend, and the shadows a place to hide. Hidden from view, observing the surroundings and craving for the next victim. The pain gets unbearable, the wait seems endless, but it is much needed to succeed. When the first light comes on in the house, the next stage begins —a phase that the Stalker can’t wait for. A phase he wants to indulge in for as long as he can, without the victim knowing it. Yes, you want to keep the curtains closed after reading this book. Unimaginable, someone could look into your room. That’s what I thought when I started to read. I thought I knew what a Stalker is, but here Lars Kepler created a completely different view on this complex topic. The definition of a Stalker is horrible; in this story, the meaning takes up far greater proportions. Another point I liked is the introduction of new characters for the Swedish police force. Margot Silverman appears as an inventive character, hopefully, she will have a chance to develop further in the next thrillers. Along with Joona Linna, they could become a good team for the future. She could benefit from his expertise and logical thinking, which again I enjoyed witnessing.
