A review by abevigodless
Black Seconds by Karin Fossum

2.0

Although I really enjoy Inspector Sejer as a character and protagonist, this book was overly ambitious in putting disparate storylines together, only to finally show their relationship in a disappointingly obvious way. It's just not a twist if you can see it coming from halfway through the book. That said, Sejer is reassuringly different from his dysfunctional Scandinavian police brethren - not a brooding alcoholic but a melancholy, quietly principled man. For that I'll probably read another of Fossum's books somewhere down the line.
