Helpful Score: 4

This is the first of the Norwegian Inspector Sejer mystery novels to appear in America although it is actually number 5 in the series. Inspector Sejer must solve the murder of a young girl, loved by all, from a small mountain village. A place where everyone knows everyone or at least they think they do.

A terrific mystery from Karin Fossum. Great sense of small town life in Norway, wonderfully written characters, terrifically plotted mystery. Somber and chilling with great psychological insight into the different charactersyou really feel you know them and how they think and react. I really enjoyed the Inspector Sejer character and cant wait to read more. Only drawback was that I did tend to get lost in some of the dialogueI wasnt sure who was saying what.
