This is a very engaging book. There is a reveal fairly early on in the book, which I thought was a bit strange, but then the plot takes on some interesting twists, including a flashback into the Hypnotist's life, which sheds some light on the ongoing action.
I have to say, my one criticism is that the main characters are more well-drawn than the villains, but the writing is evocative, insightful and well-paced. It is being compared to the Stieg Larsson "Millenium Trilogy", and I don't think it's quite up to that level of sophistication, but I did thoroughly enjoy it.
The Amazon listing shows this as #1 in the Joona Linna series (Joona is the detective on the case, with the catchphrase "what did I tell you?" when he's proven right), so we can look forward to more from the Swedish writing duo known as Lars Kepler.
