Lazarus: Joona Linna Series: #7 by Lars Kepler

4.0

The writing duo behind the Lars Kepler pseudonym has added to the Joona Linna series with LAZARUS. Lars Kepler is known for writing out-of-the-box twists with suspenseful plot complexities. Lazarus is no different. A continuation of Linna's storyline answers some questions from past books and opens new doors for the future. As with other books they've written, there is a gore aspect that may not be for everyone, but the choice to include such scenes keeps the stories at a high level of suspense bordering on frightening in some places. It feels much more like a movie than other thriller detective novels while also maintaining good dialogue and interesting characters. Readers do not necessarily have to have read the other titles in the series, but it would help with some background.
