My Post at Good Reads:
A terrific Swedish thriller which has a compelling story-line, is chock full of well-defined characters, and is as fast-paced as most movie screenplays.
I thought that the novel was presented in a fresh and interesting manner. The book begins with a particularly vicious and dramatic multiple murder which would provide more than enough sensational material to propel the average crime thriller, yet in THE HYPNOTIST, these killings are employed as a kind of sub-text which lead the reader on to a much more sinister and complex kidnapping plot which is the true heart and soul of the book.
It's a long and convoluted novel, but you never lose interest, and it all ties together very nicely at the end. I loved the novel and look forward to more by this husband and wife writing team.
