Reviews for The Drowned Boy: Inspector Sejer #11

A tightly woven tale in spare but piercing prose * Metro * Nordic noir of note * GQ * A simple but gripping story, balanced, believable and compassionate, about a sensitive subject -- Laura Wilson * Guardian * 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 * Irish Times * 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 * Irish Times *
