Inspector Sejer Series
Inspector Sejer Series: The First Three Novels | Karin Fossum
No one can thoroughly chill the blood the way Karin Fossum can. Los Angeles Times Critically acclaimed across Europe, Karin Fossums Inspector Sejer novels are masterfully constructed, psychologically convincing, and compulsively readable. They evoke a world that is at once profoundly disturbing and terrifyingly familiar. The inaugural Inspector Sejer novels have been conveniently packaged together for your very own chilling reading experience. EVAS EYE When the body of a man floats to the surface of a river, Inspector Sejer is called in. Sejer and his team determine that the man, Egil, died in a violent attack. But Egil has been missing for months, and the trail to his killer has gone cold. Its as puzzling as another unsolved case on Sejers desk: the murder of a prostitute who was found dead just three days before Egil went missing. Sejer sets to work piecing together the fragments of these two impossible cases; soon enough he realizes that they might not be as separate as they had seemed. DONT LOOK BACK At the foot of the imposing Kollen Mountain lies a small, idyllic village where neighbors know neighbors and children play happily in the streets. But when the body of a teenage girl is found by the lake at the mountaintop, the towns tranquility is shattered forever. Annie was strong, intelligent, and loved by everyone. What went so terribly wrong? Doggedly, yet subtly, Inspector Sejer uncovers layer upon layer of distrust and lies beneath the towns seemingly perfect faade. HE WHO FEARS THE WOLF Inspector Sejer is hard at work again, investigating the murder of a woman who lived alone in the middle of the woods. The chief suspect is another loner, a schizophrenic recently escaped from a mental institution. The only witness is a twelve-year-old boy, overweight, obsessed with archery, and a resident at a home for delinquents. Shrewdly, patiently, as is his way, Sejer confronts a case where the strangeness of the crime is matched only by the strangeness of the criminals, and where small-town prejudices warp every piece of information he tries to collect. In spare, incisive prose, Fossum turns a conventional police procedural into a sensitive examination of troubled minds and a disturbing look at the way society views them . . . A superb writer of psychological suspense. New York Times

He Who Fears the Wolf | Karin Fossum, Felicity David

Very interesting murder mystery, with the focus on the criminals rather than the detectives or their investigation. Psychological and complex. Thoughtful,

A friend of my mom recommended this series to me. The used book store didn‘t have books 1 or 2, so I started with book 3. I liked the pacing of the book. The story focused mainly on the criminals. I felt like there wasn‘t much from Inspector Sejer. Since this is his series I thought he would be featured more. And his budding relationship with the psychiatrist disturbed me. They do not seem like a good match. Other than that I liked it.

The second Inspector Sejer. In the Norwegian woods a lonely woman was killed. A 12 year old boy discovers the body and spots Errki, the local lunatic, in the woods. The same lunatic who, a few hours later, is taken hostage by a bank robber. Inspector Sejer is called in. What follows is a real Scandinavian type thriller, with little violence and conversation, enough however to keep me turning page after page. Picture: Hotel in Valencia
