Hell Fire
Hell Fire | Karin Fossum
4 posts | 3 read | 10 to read
A gruesome tableau awaits Inspector Konrad Sejer in the oppressive summer heat: a woman and a young boy lay dead in a pool of blood near a dank camper. The details of the deaths of Bonnie Hayden and her five-year-old son Simon are mysterious. There is no sign of robbery or assault. Who would brutally stab a defenseless woman and her child? Sejer and his fellow investigator Jakob Skarre begin a hunt for the killer that will eventually lead them to a heartbreaking conclusion. In a parallel storyline, masterfully fused, Fossum tells the story of Mass Malthe and her troubled son Eddie as they navigate a relationship that some would call too close. Eddie constantly thinks about his unknown father someone his mother would rather forget. When long-held secrets are revealed, it turns out that Mass and Bonnie share more in common than Eddie could have ever guessed."

Not sure why my weather app pulled this up today but I always say that my hometown is the 7 degrees of separation from Hell. 😂

#TBRtemptation post! When I read this title, I hear the movie-preview guy's voice say it with such sinister dramatic flair 😂👏🏻. Who can resist a book with this title? I mean, c'mon, really. Anyway, this is installment #12 in the hugely successful Inspector Sejer series. A woman & a young boy are found stabbed to death in a pool of their own blood with no signs of theft. Who would do such a thing! Sejer wants answers. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎

This book wasn't anything I expected, but I was happy to be surprised in such a moving way. This is hardly traditional Nordic Noir - it focuses on the human aspect of the story, developing seriously tragic characters. I enjoyed it a lot - not my favorite, but quite good!

Karin Fossum is an author who I've long wanted to read, but never got around to until yesterday!! I'm currently reading HELL FIRE, her upcoming novel. So far it's very methodical - not a fast-paced read, but a deliberately plotted police procedural. Really enjoying so far!!

BookBerries Oh this sounds like my jam!!! I love these kinds of books! 8y
crimebythebook @BookBerries that's so awesome!!! I love them too - I have to be in the right mood for them, but when I am, nothing beats them!! 👍🏻 8y
