From Publishers Weekly

Gumshoe Award–winner Fossum (When the Devil Holds the Candle) once again wraps a blanket of methodical police work and infectious psychological tension around a relatively quiet crime in her fifth Inspector Sejer mystery to be made available in the U.S. When nine-year-old Ida Joner takes off for town (never named) on her new bike one afternoon and is never seen again, suspicion falls on Emil Johannes Mork, a silent, simple man. Emil, however, doesn't appear to have the heart of a killer. The narrative shifts smoothly among those affected by the tragedy: Emil's beleaguered mother, a good woman with little life of her own; a male cousin of the missing girl who may suffer some secret guilt; and, of course, Insp. Konrad Sejer and his younger colleague, Jacob Skarre. Sejer is a beautifully created character, a thoughtful, lonely man with great empathy. As he investigates Ida's disappearance, it's not so much the facts of the case as the impact of it on the people who surrounded the girl that fuel the story. (July)

"Possibly the most popular foreign crime writer in translation, the Norwegian Karin Fossum is an intelligent author who delivers more than a smart plot by way of psychological insight and clear-eyed characterization."
(Daily Mail )

"Fossum is a clever writer; this is her most cunning tale yet." (Daily Express )

3.0étoiles sur 5 great writing but not a great mystery, Sep 22 2008
Par Gustav (Toronto, Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
In previous novels, Fossum has created startlingly fresh, and eerie characters. And in novels like Don't Look Back and He Who Fears the Wolf, there are times when the suspense is very intense and the reader burns through pages wanting to find out what will happen next. Black Seconds is not quite in their league. There is brilliant writing here, and the author's always impressive ability to enter the minds of others and take on the voice of several different characters is on display. Being with Inspector Sejer as he works through an intervew with a suspect is always pleasurable, and Fossum pulls off a cool trick by having an inspector with so little actual page-time seem so present throughout the story. But the remaining characters are not as intesting as in her other novels. They are convincingly real, but that is not enough to make a great suspense novel. Fossum has taken a risk in the way she lays out this story. Very early in the novel, it is easy to guess at events which it takes the inspector far too long, in my opinion, to deduce and share with us. I found myself racing ahead of the police investigation time and again thinking: but this is so obvious, what kind of surprises does Fossum have in store? Not many as it turns out. So although I read this character study with respect and fascination, this time I am a little let down by the absence of surprise or of much real suspense.
