Just when I think I have a favorite Lars Kepler book, they go and outdo themselves.  Every single one of their books is freaking amazing.  STALKER is truly one of a kind, but I can’t tell you why or it’ll ruin the book!  This book is full of violence and is extremely graphic, as per usual for Kepler.  Written in short chapters, the pacing of STALKER moves pretty fast.  It may be over 500 pages, but don’t let that scare you.  You’ll read it pretty quickly.  Jam-packed with action and tense scenes, this book draws you in right away and doesn’t let go until the very end.  I actually reached the major plot twist at work on my lunch, and my boss could see the excitement and shock in my face.  And then the epilogue… I mean, it’s amazing.  So, if you read this, look out for a major cliff hanger!  I’m immediately starting the next one, The Rabbit Hunter.  I can’t give Lars Kepler and the Joona Linna series enough praise.  This series is a must read for fans of crime fiction!
