Ilustration Concering Books The Water's Edge (Konrad Sejer #8)

A married couple, Reinhardt and Kristine Ris, are out for a Sunday walk when they discover the body of a boy and see the figure of a man limping away. They alert the police, but not before Reinhardt, to Kristine’s horror, kneels down and takes photographs of the dead child with his cell phone. Inspectors Konrad Sejer and Jakob Skarre begin to make inquiries in the little town of Solberglia. But then another boy disappears, and an explanation seems more remote than ever. Meanwhile, the Ris’s marriage starts to unravel as Reinhardt becomes obsessed with the tragic events and his own part in them.

A riveting portrayal of a community—its insiders, its outsiders, its fissures, and its secrets—from Norway’s "Queen of Crime," Karin Fossum.

Discuss Based On Books The Water's Edge (Konrad Sejer #8)
Review:(10/27/2009, 12:44 PM)One of my barometers for a great book is when I am finished I cant stop thinking about the story or the characters. Karen Fossums The Waters Edge meets that criteria and then some. Wonderfully written she drew me into the story dealing with a delicate subject of a childs molestation and murder. As a mother I find this a very difficult subject to read about, but Fossum handles it tactfully as the story unfolds into an excellent mystery. One of my favorite aspects of

MS Fossum uses the mystery format and her characters to discuss or explore topics that in many cases might be off limits. In her discussions she doesn't reach a conclusion but does raise questions. I sometimes think the discussions take away from the story but without the discussions would there be a story.A married couple going out for a walk see a stranger walking toward a car and then a little while later find the body of a young boy. The boy has been assaulted and soon another young boy goes

This is a terrible book. I don't know if it missed something in the translation, but it spent way too much time trying to rationalize and make the reader feel sympathy for a child molestor! The parts from the molestor's POV are simply grotesque, and the speculations from Skarre are terrible. So what if the molestor feels he can't get help because he is too ashamed! Or they had a bad childhood and so do terrible things to other people! And I don't believe that child molestors are born and "just

Fossum has a thing about crimes against children and crimes committed by children. She also has a theme of children going missing and being picked up by nasty men, or by men who are different. Her books often have two crimes were at the end we find there has been two different perpetuators. So while this is an OK book, this series is becoming a bit formulaic.

So happy to have Hoopla pick up several of Karin's books. Procedural police work descriptions are so honest in this tale of the search for the killer of a young boy by a pedophile. The study of the couple who found the body was a revelation on how little we can know about those we are with every day. Look forward to more of Karin.

This was my first-time read of Karin Fossum and not my last. The Water's Edge can be a difficult story as it deals with child abduction and pedophilia. If this is a "no no" for you, do not read this book. Ms. Fossum uncovers the layers of her characters flaws, hopes and fears, one-by-one. In some ways the plot of kidnapping and murder highlights the psychology of most involved. I found that very interesting how between the action and results we saw the person.Reinhardt and his wife Kristine Ris

I cannot rate this book. I cannot even tell if it is well written or not. I just kept wondering what the author was trying to do here. My guess is that she is trying to elicit sympathy for a disgusting pervert, but I may be wrong because I cannot be rational when the lead detective, Inspector Sejer, says things like he needs to be unbiased and that he cannot understand why gay men are accepted but pedophiles will always be hated and later on tries to equate pedophilia (and one who ended with a
