When the Devil Holds the Candle (2007)
Norwegian author Karen Fossum's WHEN THE DEVIL HOLDS THE CANDLE is another excellent entry into the Inspector Konrad Sejer series. I've read over half of the books in the series, and while they are very readable and offer fascinating looks into the minds of the deluded, criminal, and insane, they...
Evas Öga (1998)
Karin Fossum may be listed as the Queen of crime fiction, but to me, she is the queen of the disconcerting ending. I mean, blow me away, Ms Karin. Blow. Me. Away. You did it again! Well, let me first digress.Ever since the outrageously popular series, THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO, Scandinavian...
He Who Fears the Wolf (2006)

I haven't found another author whose style would be quite like this. Part of Inspector Sejer series; can be read separately and out ...

A young couple out walking discover the body of a young boy and so begins a manhunt.The story is well developed and the characters are well drawn. The story proceeds at a good pace with good dialogue and a logical / believable storyline. I liked the fact that the viewpoints of the police, witness...
Varsleren (2009)
A well-structured plot which reinvents the standard genre on several levels. After the first incident there is blood and terror but then it's not quite what you imagine. The point of view is philosophically dark though not nearly as violent as many of her novels. It's as much about the criminal m...
