From Publishers Weekly

In Fossum's moody and subtle U.S. debut, the fifth in her Inspector Sejer series, the popular Norwegian mystery writer displays her mastery of psychological suspense. Richly drawn characters reveal much about Norwegian society, though the setting, a picturesque valley town northwest of Oslo, isn't distinctive. A little girl disappears from her middle-class neighborhood, then returns home unharmed. Meanwhile, the search party discovers the nude corpse of a teenager, Annie Holland, and Fossum seamlessly shifts the story to a murder investigation, using several points of view to create red herrings that add to the suspense. Both girls lived in the same claustrophobic community where the residents claim to know one another but, naturally, don't really. With few clues and no witnesses, seasoned Inspector Konrad Sejer and his eager young assistant Jacob Skarre must uncover the hidden relationships and secrets they hope will lead to the killer of the well-liked, talented Annie. When they learn that the victim's behavior changed suddenly eight months earlier after a child she babysat died by accident, the plot shifts course again and drives to a stunning conclusion and ominous final scene. With the intuitive, introspective Sejer, a widower who lives alone with his dog and still grieves for his late wife, Fossum has created a fine character whom readers will want to get to know better.

From AudioFile

This is the first of the Norwegian Inspector Sejer mystery novels, which have been translated into 16 languages, to appear in America. Let's hope for more. In this one Inspector Sejer must solve the murder of a young girl from a small mountain village--a village where everyone knows everyone else and outsiders, like Sejer, are not welcome. David Rintoul excels in the role of Sejer. His inspector is a convincing cop, uninflected but comforting to spend time with, persistent, single-minded, and confident. Rintoul's other characterizations are interesting, as well, giving voice to a range of wary mountain villagers. And his narrative pacing is never too fast, never too slow. Excellent.

2.0étoiles sur 5 mischaracterization, Jui 7 2004
Par Un client
This review is from: Don't Look Back (Hardcover)
Fossum's book is mildly enjoyable; the prose is spare--perhaps too much so--but the story is interesting, albeit transparant in places. Some logical inconsistencies exist in the plotting, as well as a seemingly substantial emotional inconsistency re: the actions of the boyfriend toward the end of the story. (I'm trying not to give the ending away.) But, as the mother of a Down syndrome boy and an educated person with extensive knowledge on the subject of Down syndrome, I am queasy about Fossum's treatment of her Down syndrome character; sexual predation is virtually never part of the Down pathology. Down's people have enough troubles without being tagged with this kind of reputation. Granted, the last scene is ambiguous; however, its ominousness is clear.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Enigmatic psychological suspense - European style, Avril 4 2004
Par Lynn Harnett (Marathon, FL USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Don't Look Back (Hardcover)
This fifth book in the Norwegian Inspector Konrad Sejer series, but the first to be published in the US, begins with the most chilling of scenes: 6-year-old Ragnhild accepting a ride from a strange, too eager man. Next we cut to her distraught, terrified mother being gently questioned by Sejer, who shares her dread.

But this scenario does not have the expected conclusion. The search party combing nearby Kollen mountain turn up the naked body of a local teenager, and Ragnhild is deposited on her doorstep by the lonely Downs-syndrome boy who had taken her to his home.

It's a small, close, valley community where everyone knows everyone else, though not as well as they think they do. The dead girl, Annie, had been bright, outgoing and well liked by everyone. Sure, she'd been subdued, even a bit withdrawn in the last few months, but her family and friends put it down to adolescence. Sejer thinks she had a secret.

As he and his assistant, young Jacob Skarre, begin to probe, they peel away layers of deception and self-deception, uncovering cracks and chasms under the tranquil surface. No surprise to Sejer, there are lots of secrets in this respectable, idyllic village, starting right in Annie's family. And there's the boyfriend - brutalized into passivity, he hardly seems her type.

Fossum is particularly adept at revealing character through details. A neighbor views Sejer's approach: "He assumed a strained expression, but then realized that this might make them suspicious; so he pulled himself together and tried a smile instead. Then he remembered that Annie was dead, and went back to the strained mask."

She steeps the story in its semi-rural, woods and mountain atmosphere, but just as telling are the characters' surroundings - a toy-strewn house or a muddy farmyard or a teenager's bedroom. Shifts in point of view heighten the psychological suspense and narrative depth. Sejer is a complex, thoughtful, empathetic character. Readers will hope to spend more time in his company.

3.0étoiles sur 5 basic murder mystery, Mars 25 2004
This review is from: Don't Look Back (Hardcover)
This is a good murder mystery book to read, nothing really new or anything. I give it 3 stars because it does drag in spots, still a good read to see a non-american writer.
