Didn't enjoy this as much as the previous 2, but that doesn't mean I've given up on the series. It gets on my nerves when a writers uses "fat" to stand in for characterization, and the claustrophobic nature of the whole book just didn't work for me.

DONT LOOK BACK by Karin Fossum is the second book in the series featuring Inspector Konrad Sejer of Oslo, Norway. Although this happened to be the first book to be translated into English.The book opens with an ongoing search for a missing 6 year old girl called Ragnhild, which later develops into a...
I read Don't Look Back by Karin Fossum. It was an average story that has been written many times. The saving grace to that book was the main character, Inspector Sejer. He is interesting and really the only reason, in my mind, to read Karin Fossum books.He Who Fears the Wolf is not about Inspecto...

Karin Fossum's English debut features older, widowed Inspector Konrad Sejer who is trying to solve a murder that took place in a small Norwegian village. Very well done police procedural. Sucked me in from the first page. Great plot, suspense, and characters. Will definitely continue on with the...
I plan on giving all of my Karin Fossum reviews the same statement because I don't even want the hint of a spoiler on this woman's fantastic work. Fossum's writing gave me my love of Scandanavian mystery writers and I seek those writings out. Hands down,though, Fossum's work is the best I have come ...
