It is Karin Fossum’s wry observations of human frailty and the
warmth with which she portrays even her flawed characters - that
make this book such a pleasure to read. It’s rare for me to find a
book that I love so much I can’t put it down, but this was one of
them
*Penny Hancock*
The latest offering from the “Norwegian queen of crime” is a novel
of mighty power. In The Darkness, the first Inspector Sejer novel,
is intricately crafted with undeniable pedigree
*Ruth Dugdall*
In the Darkness had me hooked from the start. Fossum’s writing is
insightful and descriptive without being showy. There are no tricks
or cliff hangers, just confident storytelling, refreshingly free
from sudden bursts of implausibility. Her characters feel like real
people, living in a real world, where money is tight and
motivations are murky
*Julie Corbin*
This is the perfect way in to Fossum’s dark minatory world, in
which the levels of psychological acuity are set against a
stunningly executed narrative
