Black Seconds
Black Seconds | Karin Fossum
6 posts | 8 read | 7 to read
Ida Joner gets on her brand-new bike and sets off toward town. A good-natured, happy girl, she is looking forward to her tenth birthday. Thirty-five minutes after Ida should have come home, her mother starts to worry. She phones store owners, Ida s friends, anyone who could have seen her. But no one has. Suspicion immediately falls on Emil Mork, a local character who lives alone and hasn t spoken since childhood. His mother insists on cleaning his house weekly although she s sometimes afraid of what she might find there. A mother s worst nightmare in either case: to lose a child or to think a child capable of murder. As Ida s relatives reach the breaking point and the media frenzy surrounding the case begins, Inspector Konrad Sejer is his usual calm and reassuring self. But he s puzzled. And disturbed. This is the strangest case he s seen in years. "

Finished this yesterday with a slice and wine. I‘ve been diving into Nordic Noir. This was alright. I liked it better by the end. Between and pick and so-so for me.

SamAnne And forgot to mention Fossum is a Norwegian crime writer so this counts for #foodandlit 4y

This felt like a productive reading month. I read 9 books and made a good dent in my TBR. No bad books this month. I enjoyed everything 📚

This was a really good book. I liked the writing style and really enjoyed all the characters. I figured out what happened to Ida pretty early on, but that didn't diminish the fun of watching the story unfold. This is the sixth book in the Konrad Sejer detective series. So far I have only read book 3, He Who Fears the Wolf, and this one. I enjoyed this book even more than the other one. This is a series I would like to continue reading.

minkyb I like this series as well! 6y

Geweldige thriller! Details zijn zo mooi geschreven dat je vanaf pagina 1 al een ongemakkelijk gevoel krijgt waardoor je door MOET lezen!
Meisje v 10 komt niet thuis na boodschap. Getuige ( of dader?) die niet kan ( of wil) spreken..genoeg voor politie inspecteur om zich in vast te bijten
