Sorry just reread and you've read Jussi Adler Olsen 🤦‍♀️

I really, really enjoyed Lars Kepler's series, I unknowingly started with a mid series book (The Rabbit Hunter) so went back to the start and was hooked.

I've also read most of a series by Jussi Adler Olsen, but found them hit and miss.

Just finished Kate Bold's first book The Killing Game, it's very short which is perfect for me atm (have a baby and short attention span). I'm waiting for the next book to be available at the library.
