The Nightmare (Joona Linna, #2)
by
by

This is the second book in a developing series based around hard hitting cop Joona Linna. Basically it is one long thrilling experience from the first page. Reminiscent of a James Bond movie this is a novel on a really large scale with not a page wasted as this writing duo take you on a journey of threat, brutal chases and hand to hand conflict. It has action throughout balanced by involved characterisation. It is a mystery you will enjoy reading and a story that will captivate you based around shady business practices and ultimate power. Brilliant set pieces, chases, stake-outs, manhunts and a dramatic climax at sea interwoven by tight dialogue and interspersed with people you care about.
I like the story construction although basically linear and in chronological order it is enhanced with back story and memories, that never loses focus. The plot isn't straight forward and spoon fed to the reader but engages you completely and in no time at all you are half way through the book.
The real joy about finishing this novel is that book 3 is available and Joona Linna is such a complex character that I long to read and learn more and the journey has only just begun.
