Book Reviews of Don't Look Back
Book Review: "Dont Look Back"
Summary: 4 Stars
This novel, set in Norway, is not so much a mystery as an exploration by an experienced and compassionate policeman of the sad and curious things that darken and unravel human lives. The book suggests that the joys and beauties of life are balanced, or even over-balanced, by the things fate throws at us which crush us. We come to know the inhabitants of the little rural village where the major events of the plot take place very well, and we come to grieve for them. While the book is more character- than plot-driven, there are two twists--one in the beginning which surprises, and one at the end which chills--which are the equal of any.
I wasn't aware of the work of Ms. Fossum--reminiscent of the Martin Beck novels--but I now look forward eagerly to reading more.
