Dark and intense!

I did not realize how dark and gory and very much horror like this story would be. Set in the very fitting darkness and storms of Sweden with a killer that goes around with an axe and very much knows how to use it against those they deem worthy of being chopped into little bits. With the only surviving witness being a sleepwalker who wakes up in the middle of one of the crime scenes, it did leave me frantically reading through the story to see if it could be untangled before more people end up dead (sadly the killer is very prolific). Luckily Joona Linna is on the case, using DNA, hypnotists, and research into old cases, tracking down suspects with links to the crimes (sometimes with deadly consequences beyond the serial killer with the axe). The characters in this story are complicated like Joona with a ease in killing, or Hugo with his search for his mother and his troubling sleepwalking, or Agneta with her research into the case and working with Bernard to also get to the bottom of it before the killer decides to make sure the only witness can't reveal what he knows. There are weird dark bits like with Olga but I guess it added to the depth of the area where this is all happening. It was an interesting murder thriller, especially with the sleepwalker touch and I am now interested in what other cases Joona Linna has solved.
