A review by pandasbookshelf
Cultus by Henrik Fexeus, Camilla Läckberg
5.0
Cult is the second book in the series featuring Detective Mina Dabiri and Mentalist Vincent Walder. I loved the first book, Trapped, and was excited to dive into this next book. I am pleased to say this one didn’t disappoint and in fact was even better. The story itself is complex, gruesome, mysterious and chilling. The book itself is quite long and this helped to allow for time to develop a complex, layered plot and two utterly brilliant main characters. I loved that both the main characters as a result of their own trauma histories have developed responses and ways of being that impact on their ability to function and have relationships. Their relationship is one of the main reasons that I adored these books. I can’t wait to see how this develops further over subsequent books. I’ve read some of Camilla Lackberg before but feel this series far exceeds everything else she has written. Henrik Fexeus is a mentalist himself and I think this makes Vincent’s character feels very realistic. I love magic, illusion and mentalists so this one was right up my alley. If you’re a fan of the tv show, The Mentalist, you will love this one.
