### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    No need to be put off by the element of child murder
  

*by K***Z on Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2009*

While perhaps not the very best of Fossum's Sejer series, it is still a deeply gratifying read. Initially, I held off on reading this. I'm generally not a fan of books about crimes against children. I felt Fossum succeeded in not giving over to the temptation of the gruesome. What I find most fascinating is Fossum's complex psychology of children. The children in her books are not little adults, but are every bit as complex -- and interesting -- as adult characters. For me, it was another winner from Fossum.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Well-written, though it is a harrowing read
  

*by Z***S on Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2009*

I have read all of Karin Fossum's works and my favorite is The Indian Bride. Ms Fossum's language always flows easily, as it does here, and this is not an author given to flowery or overly descriptive language, yet she manages to engage readers, and evoke graphic images in the reader's mind, achieved mainly through suggestion. "The Water's Edge" is another Inspector Sejer mystery (there are many others in the series, "The Indian Bride" being one of them). The police investigation this time around centers around a very troubling child murder. The victim, young Jonas August Lowe is found in a remote park by a couple out walking after Sunday lunch. They see a man walking away from the scene who appears suspicious. The couple, Kristine and Reinhardt Ris have strong reactions to the crime. Kristine feels unbearably saddened by the tragedy and years for a child to fill the emptiness within, whereas Reinhardt develops a morbid fascination for the case. When another child goes missing, Sejer and his trusted partner, Jacob Skarre work frantically, trying to figure out the motivations behind pedophilia, and eliminating suspects as the clock ticks away.Karin Fossum's works always explore the psychological motivations of people, be it perpetrators, or the police, and this novel is no different. Both Sejer and Skarre have long and deep conversations about what drives a person to prey on a child in the most bestial manner, and on the other side, the perpetrator struggles with his own guilt and feelings of being wronged. This novel delves more deeply into the psychological aspect more than any of the other novels, at least in my opinion. I felt it was appropriate, given how heinous the crime is. But, I missed the exploration of Sejer's life  - this has almost always been elaborated on in Fossum's other novels, but sadly not here.On the whole though, I appreciated the deeply explored psychological dimension, and the complex interplay of human relationships (another of Fossum's strengths), and the twist she throws in haunted me a long time afterwards. Recommended for fans of psychological thrillers, and also Scandinavian police procedurals (I'd also recommend checking out Arnaldur Indridason, Henning Mankell, and Hakan Nesser).

### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Disappointing
  

*by C***Y on Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2015*

Maybe it was the crime or Ms. Fossum's brutally vivid narrative, but something put me off this tale. That said, the plot spends more time arguing the social problems implicit in the crime than it does the plot. Her character development is superbly crafted.
