Even after seeing the tv show and knowing what was going to happen, I haven't felt so much suspense in a book in a long time.

The Mermaid's Singing is written extremely well. It sounds twisted but my favourite parts were the chapters that were told from the killers point of view. It gave a good insight into the cruel, twisted and deranged mind of someone who can't even be described as human.

Before I started reading this book, if read reviews that said it was very graphic and some people couldn't finish it. I didn't think it was too graphic. I think it gave just the right amount of detail to get into the mind of the killer and to get a vivid picture of what those poor men must have gone through.

Anyway, I loved this book and will for sure continue with the series.
