5 Heart Pounding Stars!!! You'll never see/think of chestnuts roasting on an open fire the same way again!
It takes a lot for thrillers to impress me, even more for them to stump me. The Chestnut Man did both and is hands down my fave thriller read this year!
Combining a gripping storyline with great characters and the kind of intense atmosphere that will have you ferociously turning pages this was one of the best crime novels I have read in a while. I'm a sucker for police procedurals and this one definitely delivered for me. It was a twisted, slice of Nordic Noir which will appeal to those (like me!) who are not put off by upsetting content, gore or graphic violence. I have no problem admitting that I'm all in for this kind of stuff. 😉

Yes and no Suvarna - predictable in the sense that the killer had a troubled childhood, etc - nothing new there BUT I didn't guess the culprit quickly and I really enjoyed how it all played out. I was hooked from the first to the last page.
Me too - it was so good!!!
A phenomenal read Isabel!
You do Kaceey! It was sooo good! 😘
So glad to see you loved it to Lee!
I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it! Hope you give it a shot.
