⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑  I was completely absorbed and unable to pull away from the spell of The Chestnut Man. Simply mesmerizing and action packed, it kept me up late into the night needing to know what happened next.

Definitely a novel for those who don't mind gory serial killer thrillers. There's more than a fair bit of violence and heavy doses of stressful tension. Perfect for those who like Jo Nesbo, Stieg Larsson, Jussi Adler-Olsen and other authors of note in the Scandi Noir realm. It's a cracker!

I don't have a single criticism. The atmosphere, the characters, the complexity of the mystery and the big reveal were all brilliantly depicted. Thulin and Hess were ideal investigating partners balancing each other out nicely. Both flawed and looking to move elsewhere, the murders they investigate have deeper implications than either could know. Great plot that ties up all the strings.

The Chestnut Man is the perfect companion to curl up with in front of the fire and fully enjoy a cold winter's night in. 2019 may be the return of Scandinavian thrillers for me. Hooray!
