LAZARUS

Saul Reichlin returns to narrate the seventh book in the Joona Linna series by the Swedish writing couple known as Lars Kepler. Reichlin meets the challenge of voicing numerous characters, including a 12-year-old girl and a number of psychopaths, male and female. Warning to listeners: The plot moves from one scene of depraved, graphic violence to another. An old enemy of Detective Joona Linna seems to have risen from the dead to torture him and his crime-fighting partner, Saga Bauer. Reichlin is in perfect step with the quick pace and drama of the action. Listeners will occasionally be reminded by word choice that this is a British translation. The audiobook is an intensely engaging but a truly disturbing experience of crazed evil. E.Q. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine [Published: JANUARY 2021]
