Critics Review
There is no room for debate: the most important female writer of foreign crime fiction at work today is the Norwegian Karin Fossum * Rough Guide to Crime Fiction *
Possibly the most popular foreign crime writer in translation, the Norgwegian Karin Fossum is an intelligent author who delivers more than a smart plot by way of psychological insight and clear-eyed characterisation * Daily Mail *
Fossum is frequently compared to Ruth Rendell, but Black Seconds is much more reminiscent of the psychological thrillers of Patricia Highsmith. Fossum is a clever writer; this is her most cunning tale yet * Daily Express *
