Synopsis

Eva Magnus and her daughter are out walking by the river when a man's body floats to the water's surface. Eva goes to call the police, but when she reaches the phone, she dials another number altogether.



The police find the body anyway. Inspector Sejer and his team quickly determine that the man, Egil, died in a violent attack. But Egil has been missing for months, and the trail to his killer is cold. It's as puzzling as another unsolved case on Sejer's desk: the murder of a prostitute, found dead just before Egil went missing. Sejer sets to work piecing together these two impossible cases. It's not long before he realizes that they aren't as separate as they previously seemed.

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 my......more

Goodreads review by Annie♡ on February 25, 2018

2.5 No sé por qué esperaba muchísimo más. Pensaba que sería algo original y diferente, pero se me hizo predecible. También detestaba que se desviara tanto la historia del caso. Era exasperante. Puede que el libro le guste a otras personas, a mí me pareció de lo más normal.......more

I love the Inspector Sejer series; this is Scandinavian crime fiction at its best! Fossum is brilliant – writing understated, intelligent narratives that discuss the moral dilemmas of real life. We see most of the story through the views of her main characters, in this instance the struggling artist......more
