Norwegian author Karin Fossum is an exquisite writer of psychological suspense, and The Water's Edge may well be her finest work. Sixth in the series of Inspector Sejer mysteries, the novel follows the investigation and events that unfold in a community after the discovery of a young boy's body beneath a stand of trees. Fossum writes with heartbreaking perception and imagination, at times seeming to channel the blood and tears of her characters directly onto the page.
