Hell Fire by Karin Fossum

5.0

Hell Fire by Karin Fossum (Norwegian) is another (#12) Inspector Sejer mystery. Similar to the other books in this series, it includes psychotic killers, selfish people, children in jeopardy, desperate lives, dysfunctional mother-son relationships, and Inspector Sejer as a pillar of strength and tranquility. These books are not for the faint of heart. The story opens with the murder of a mother and her young son, by (presumably) a twenty-one-year-old son of another single mother. Both sons are excessively dependent on their indulgent mothers.

A psychological mystery with plenty of surprises and sympathetic treatment of all characters who are all flawed, but none evil.
