"The Rabbit Hunter" is the sixth outing in the series featuring Joona Linna and from what I can tell has been a very highly successful series too. Incredibly written by Lars Kepler - who is actually husband and wife team Alexander and Alexandra Ahndoril - this thriller is one mighty roller coaster of a ride that will guarantee you'll be leaving the lights on at night for sure.I've haven't been as scared reading a book since 'Intensity' by Dean Koontz and I have to praise the authors for creating...

Such an amazing book, and one of the best in the Joona Linna series!

Thank you so much Knopf for the free copy. I have become a woman obsessed. I am proud to say I am obsessed with the Joona Linna series by the amazing author duo Lars Kepler. Ever since I read THE SANDMAN in 2018 I have been stalking @crimebythebook for the next release! I read THE STALKER next and now THE RABBIT HUNTER - WOW, just WOW. Every book I have read by them is OUTSTANDING.I’m not sure if you caught Abby’s interview with Kepler yesterday but it just made me love them even more. How does

So, Lars Kepler. A.k.a. someone who will never, ever disappoint you. The Rabbit Hunter is the sixth installment in the Joona Linna series, yet I’m still unable to pick one of the novels as my favorite –although I am perhaps inclined towards the Fire Witness since it was this case that introduced me to the Ahndoril couple’s excellent works. When it comes to them the characters are faithful to their first impression and evolving smoothly, the complex plotlines remain but are as easy to follow as f...

As usual, Lars Kepler’s writing is gripping, shocking, and pure entertainment. I actually started the Joona Linna series a bit late—Stalker was my first venture into the series. With The Rabbit Hunter, I would definitely recommend getting acquainted with the series first. The first 50 pages of this book completely shook me to the core—that’s how juicy and scary it was! My only critique would be that this book is a little longer than necessary, and I wish it was cut a bit shorter. However, I love...

5 AMAZING STARS. ⁣Thank you so much to Knopf for this stunning finished copy of THE RABBIT HUNTER by Lars Kepler! You guys... This book was fantastic 🙌🏼 I have been looking forward to Kepler’s newest release for so long now and there’s no surprise here that I absolutely loved it!⁣⁣One of the many things I loved about this book was Kepler’s writing style. There’s just something about their writing that I love SO much and I am always instantly pulled in to every single one of their stories. Not on...

This was amazing, I absolutely loved it. It was a bit slow in the begining and I find that whole "terrorist" part quite boring and unnecessary, but as the story moved forward to its core it got absolutely nail biting, and kept me on the edge of the seat throughout its length. And that ending omg, I'm hyper ventilating, how long do I have wait for the next book, 'cause I really can't! I was a bit dissapointed with how the previous book ended and all the injustice done to Joona, but thank god for

Not sure if it is just this book, or if Joona is overstaying, but I wasn't really in it as with previous books. I started having this feeling with the last book Stalker. Crime isn't, as I've said before, my genre, and I sort of rolled on my surprise at how good I've found the earlier books to be. I might give Lazarus a chance. After that I'll see if I read the eighth book if and when it's released.-Also lemme spill some about Joona. So he's Finnish, got a Finnish accent (which is like the world'...

As the card carrying president of the Lars Kepler fan club, it is my duty to let you know that our favorite married writing duo is back with another winning installment in the Joona Linna series. Writing serial killer thrillers alongside your spouse must be the grandest form of couples therapy, and I think we should all find something that we can do with our partners to bond at this level. Whether or not you've begun the series from The Hypnotist or jumped in later with The Sandman, I do recomme...

In this sixth instalment of the Joona Linna series, Lars Kepler reminds readers what true Scandinavian psychological thrillers are meant to entail. When Sweden’s Foreign Minister is murdered by someone lurking in the shadows of his own home, the only witness to the event mumbles something that confuses authorities. Joona Linna, Sweden’s most prolific hunter of serial killers is not available to assist, having been sentenced to prison. However, no one is taking any chances and Linna is given a br...

Joona Linda is a holds-no-bars, lead detective, just out of prison when he’s asked to solve a particularly dark serial crime involving the “Rabbit Hunter.” The connection between the crimes? The victims hear a rhyme about rabbits recited by a child. So creepy, right?The Rabbit Hunter is the dark, creepy page-turner I was searching for. This is Scandi Noir at its best. I definitely plan to read the earlier books because I absolutely loved this. If you like your mysteries dark, hair-raising, and c...

This grisly addition to the Lars Kepler series featuring Detective Joona Lina and Superintendent Saga Bauer is my first introduction to the series. Lars Kepler is apparently a husband and wife writing team. In many ways I found this a difficult read and part of the reason I felt was that I should have read the series in order, there are numerous references to past events that on occasion I felt a little lost, so this is not great as a standalone. This Scandi-Noir thriller is an intensely twisted...

This is the 6th book in the Joona Linna series by the joint authors known as Lars Kepler. I have enjoyed this series from the very beginning having read the previous five books which although obviously helped me in my familiarity of the characters was not a necessity required to appreciate this book. It seems like a long time since I read the other books but didn't take me long to get back in the swing of the writing. This book is not for everyone and maybe a little more gruesome and explicit th...

I waited eagerly for this book, perhaps too eagerly, because I was a tad disappointed in it. I feel like the most interesting and important characters (Joona and Saga) were left largely to the background, and there was too much irrelevant stuff going on. I loved the tension, the violence and the creepyness of the story, but it was too easy to guess who the hunter was, so the end part of the book was a bit of a letdown. But it was nice to get to read again about Joona and Saga, and I hope that th...

This is the sixth book of the Joona Linna series, but it’s the first one I’ve read and it can easily stand on its own. Now my interest is piqued and I must start at Book One, The Hypnotist. I always enjoy Swedish crime dramas, and this husband and wife writing team going by the pseudonym “Lars Kepler” certainly cranks out a taut thriller.Joona is currently serving time for assaulting a police officer when he’s summoned by the Swedish prime minister and offered a deal he simply can’t refuse: work...

Thank you to Netgalley for my copy in exchange for a review. I have not read the other books in this series but was so excited to get this book, I’m overlooking this dilemma!!! A viscous killer called the rabbit hunter is stalking his victims in a cold brutal fashion. Loved this book and was fully immersed in this book and will definitely read the other books now!!Not for the faint hearted as this is brutal and creepy but very well written and kept me on the edge of my seat!!

Yeah, no, I'm done. I was struggling through the final parts of the last Kepler, too, with all the ridiculous butchering that never seemed to stop. With this one, I read maybe a quarter, put it on the shelf and waited weeks before continuing - which isn't a good sign when it comes to books you're supposed to devour in one sitting. I finished it out of pure stubbornness.This series isn't for me anymore. I've had it with the silly serial (or spree) killers (and don't get me started on the use of t...

SWEDISH REVIEW Kaninjägaren är otroligt nog den första boken jag läser av Lars Kepler. Som vanligt är tidspress min ursäkt för att ha missat denna fantastiska serie. Men det ger mig fördelen att jag har 5 olästa böcker att ta mig an samt att jag kan skriva en recension utifrån en ny fans synvinkel. Så hur var Kaninjägaren? För att vara den senaste boken i en en serie så var kändes det väldigt lätt att komma in i boken. I och med att själva handlingen var fristående med återkommande karaktärer

While this is the sixth book in a series you definitely don’t have to start with the first book in order to enjoy this, but I do think that you will better appreciate the characterization and how much these characters have grown if you’ve read at least a couple of them. I jumped in back at The Sandman and think this is a great starting point if you don’t have the time or inclination to start all the way back at book one. Whatever you do decide to do though, this is one gritty series that shouldn...

Well this was intense and twisted like Kepler usually does it. Buuut it lacked a little bit.. although that ending was creepy as f.
