Lars Kepler is the pseudonym of critically acclaimed husband and wife team Alexander Ahndoril and Alexandra Coelho Ahndoril,
And they are famous for Police Detective Joona Linna series.The Hypnotist is the first installment of this series.This series is actually written in Swedish.The Hypnotist is translated in English by Ann Long.This was a very anticipated read for me from very long.This story started with a brutal homicide incident where police find a family has been slaughtered by someone.After sometime they discovers the youngest boy of the family actually survivor and only eyewitness.And elder daughter of this family was also missing. Now Detective Joona Linna wants to interrogate the boy and wants to know what had happen that night but it was not possible because the boy is still in coma and unable to cooperate. So Joona Linna wants help from Dr Erik Maria Bark who is a hypnotist. But ten years ago for some reason Dr Bark quiet practicing of hypnosis and first he dose not wants to help Joona Linna, but because he realize it could have save the elder daughters life which police suspected to be in danger. So he agrees to help and hypnotize the boy and let the police know a dark and unbelievable story. But after that a frightful and nightmarish incident also stars to his own life.
This is the synopsis of this story which you can even find it back of the copy. But actually this story is more complicated and honestly i really feel its very much impossible to review this book without giving any spoiler.But I don't want give any spoiler, so I am trying to give you some idea about the story. First this story actually misguide us from the very beginning.
when you will start to believing you understand the story suddenly something new things comes up and will make you more confuse.The story is very peaceful and you will never get board. After started the book its almost unputdownable. So is that mean it is a great read? The ans-ware is somehow yes but not really. But why? Because after finishing the book if you analysis the story you can able to understand how many silly pot holes it has. Even you will understand to make it more twisted how many things forcefully added to this story. And end of the story you will understand the whole plot is total unrealistic and unbelievable.
Finally I am giving the verdict,Its a good read until you started to think of this story. Its like a high paced movie which you can enjoy but finding logic behind it is utter foolishness. I am giving it 3 Star out of 5.
Please let me know what you guys think about this novel. Thank you and keep reading.
