The Murder of Harriet Krohn

Karin Fossum

I am Charles Olav Torp; he thinks. How weird to wake up in this heavy body. There are sounds outside, but they know nothing. They think this day is a day like any other. No one has yet noticed the tremor, but soon it will spread and hit all these decent people. With his inner eye he can see the crowd, and just then they all turn to him with a look of accusation. The Murder of Harriet Krohn is a dark and intense portray of a murderer. The reader is with him, in his mind and actions, from the very first moment until the hideous murder take place. A murder that give him the economic possibility to fulfil his daughter Julies greatest dream. Everything is better, the future seems bright and wide open. If it had just not been for Konrad Sejer. "Fossum has written a tight and intense book, where you on one side can easily feel sympathy for Charles, but again and again get reminded that he is actually a murderer."VG "No Norwegian Crime Writer can better give us the image of the feelings and thoughts of a murderer than Karin Fossum"FREDRIKSTADS BLAD

Natt til fjerde november

Karin Fossum

They sometimes thought that if Jonna had been younger, five or ten, perhaps, there would have been no question. Their daughter would most certainly have been killed. And later hidden and buried, or thrown in the sea. That would have made more sense. But she could never have run away! Where would she go? Jonna is seventeen and disappears without a trace on November 4th. There is no note or diary to explain what has happened, and after several weeks her parents, Magnhild and Jon, are still without answers. Is all of this their fault? This novel shows how alone human beings can be even within a family structure, as well as the brutal impact of grief – but also how that grief might serve to bring about change. The Night of November 4th is a quivering chamber play that with few means and hushed language plays out well-known family scenes. BERGENS TIDENDE What do we really know about our children? asks Karin Fossum in this well directed psychological family drama. AFTENPOSTEN An intense chamber play about a disappearance and the reactions of the family. DAGSAVISEN Karin Fossum has with the intense relationship novel The Night of November 4th written one of her strongest books.VG

The Doll in the Ceiling

Ingvar Ambjørnsen

Ingvar Ambjørnsen's first novel with a female protagonist is intense and uncomfortable, and holds the reader captive until the very end. «Who am I, who cannot forgive? Who will not forgive? I am the one who walks the narrowest path. The most difficult. Because nothing is easier giving in and cancel another's debt.» A psychological drama unfolds between a handful of people in a small town in Southern Norway. Rebekka is traveling back to the vacation landscape of her childhood. The reader follows the action through her perspective, where fond childhood memories and enigmatic, confusing images alternate. Soon she gets to map out the small nuclear family that lives in a red-painted house in Stjernestien. An apparent idyll, which the reader realizes cannot last. Because there will be a landslide in this small town, a scandal will be smeared like graffiti on the walls, and it is Rebekka who is the trigger.
