Ce que les critiques en disent

Fossum’s Inspector Sejer novels are invariably morally and psychologically complex affairs, but The Drowned Boy might well be her crowning achievement to date (Declan Burke)
A simple but gripping story, balanced, believable and compassionate, about a sensitive subject (Laura Wilson)
Nordic noir of note
A tightly woven tale in spare but piercing prose
Moving and thought-provoking (Doug Johnstone)
Karin Fossum's minimalist police procedurals... have a stealthy way of mutating into richer, if also darker, psychological studies of criminals and their victims... In the end, the novel isn't about willful murder or even accidental death, but the psychological aftershocks for the living
Reading a Karin Fossum novel is always a wonderful, almost meditative, experience. Even though she writes about horrible crimes, her compassion and intelligence shine through, and by the time you reach the final page you’re left feeling irrevocably changed - for the better. Her latest, The Drowned Boy, is right up there among her best
Fossum shows us how the crime novel can be more than sheer entertainment… Well-written and gripping
Karin Fossum is among our foremost authors, regardless of genre. This because of her unique ability to create real people and her deep understanding of the human soul. She has always mastered this, but never better than in The Drowned Boy
Among Fossum’s finest novels…a strong literary quality and quivering suspense
