Calling Out For You
Calling Out For You | Karin Fossum
3 posts | 7 read | 8 to read
Gunder Jomann, a quiet, middle-aged man from a peaceful Norwegian community, thinks his life has been made complete when he returns from a trip to India a married man. But on the day his Indian bride is due to join him, he is called to the hospital to his sister's bedside. The local taxi driver sent instead to meet the bride at the airport returns without her. Then the town is shocked by the news of an Indian woman found bludgeoned to death in a nearby meadow. Inspector Sejer and his colleague Skarre head the murder inquiry, cross-examining the townsfolk and planting seeds of suspicion in a community which has always believed itself to be simple, safe and trusting. For what can only have been an unpremeditated and motiveless act of violence, everyone is guilty until proven innocent.

The Indian Bride | Karin Fossum

Mehso-so

The characters are well drawn but the atmosphere is lacking. This story could just as easily been set down the street. Also, there was very little in the way of resolution and further doubts were raised at the end of the book.

This was a good installment in the Inspecter Sejer mystery series, in which an Indian woman is murdered upon her arrival to a small town in Norway. I have mixed feelings about the ending, though.

Second book finished for #NutsInMay! @Andrew65
