  1. 4/5 Gunnar S

    En mycket sjuk seriemördare är lös i London. Medicinskt tyvärr mycket troligt men förhoppningsvis osannolikt. Initierat och kunnigt om polisens arbete. Tvära kast och inte alls den förutsebara lösning du har tänkt ut. Engelskan medelsvår och tillgänglig. Läs inte denna bok när du är ensam en helg. Jag kommer att köpa del 2 i serien!
