About this listen

 WAKE UP TO TRUE EVIL

The third gripping thriller in Lars Kepler’s bestselling series featuring Joona Linna.

Perfect for fans of Stieg Larsson and Jo Nesbo.

ONE GIRL IS DEAD
At a home for troubled girls, a young girl has been brutally murdered during the night. Her body is found arranged in bed with her hands covering her eyes.

ONE GIRL IS MISSING
Vicky Bennet is the only girl unaccounted for. When a bloody hammer is discovered under her pillow, it appears that she was more than just a witness to the killing.

ONE GIRL CLAIMS TO HAVE SEEN IT ALL
Detective Inspector Joona Linna is called in to piece the evidence together. But the case quickly descends into darker, more violent territory, leading him finally to a shocking confrontation with the past.

Praise for Lars Kepler:

‘Scandi noir at its best’ Evening Standard

‘A rich, nuanced tale, ideal for beach reading, just as long as the beach doesn’t harbor too many shadows’ Kirkus

‘A brilliant thriller’ Norrköpings Tidningar

‘Taking Europe by storm’ Daily Mail

‘Kepler has a direct line to a very dark place in the human soul’ Lev Grossman, Time

‘More energetic than Mankell, as socially involved as Larsson, Kepler matches Jo Nesbo for gothic excitement’ Weekend Australian

What made the experience of listening to The Fire Witness the most enjoyable?

The links between parts of the story were not always obvious but came together as it progressed.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

There are clear links between this and other books by the same author. I haven't read any others but will look out for them in future.

Have you listened to any of Saul Reichlin’s other performances? How does this one compare?

Not listened to any other performances.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I had to stop listening at times at the beginning of the book as the description of the crimes was too graphic to aid sleep!

Any additional comments?

Stick with this one. I was going to send it back after the first 30 mins but it's a grower.

Stick with it

Even though I'd guessed it, the characters kept me engaged to the very last word!

Scary....

By far the best book I have read (heard) in a very long time. Told with brutal humanity, with passion for life and love buried but never truly destroyed, amidst the terror of oppression. This story is so relevant, now, and of its time. The heart ache is palpable in those caught up in the story of family and life on two sides of modern war and terror. My heart broke listening to this story, and I will never read a newspaper article again with quite so detached and black and white a perspective.

A must read in today's world.

A great plot, whodunnit, thriller. This is the third book I have read in chronological order. It is certainly the most impressive yet. Kepler balances a skill to imbue his characters with great humanity with those who possess a dark inhumanity. I cannot wait to start the next book in the series. The narrator appears to reflect the qualities of the main character .

Superb

Words can't do it justice. The whole series is phenomenal! You can't stop once you start. Dark, dark but fantastic.

Amazing!
