Norge, Huseby, september ca 2000
En voksen mand kommer bærende på en lille dreng, som han har dræbt. Han lægger ham ude i skoven og der bliver liget snart fundet. På vej ud af skoven møder manden et ægtepar, Reinhardt på 36 og hans kone Kristine Ris, på vej ind i skoven. Reinhardt har ikke
Sejer og Skarre møder en mand, der siger at han er healer. Han kan mærke at Sejer har noget plagsomt eksem og råder ham til at flytte sin stol lidt. Han fortæller også at han ser navnet Hasselbäck, når han tænker på Edwin, men han har ingen anelse om hvad det betyder. Sejer og Skarre følger op på Brein-sporet og får et DNA-match fra en cigaret-stump. De samler Brein op til forhør med sikker forvisning om at de har fanget forbryderen, der forvoldte Jonas død. Brein benægter i starten alting. Men det holder ikke længe i selskab med Sejer som forhørsleder. Brein fortæller hvordan han tilfældig kom forbi den lille dreng og lokkede ham ind i sin bil og med hjem. Brein er 47 år og har været gift med en russisk kvinde og har to voksne døtre, Rita og Nadia på 19 og 22. men ægteskabet er forlængst gået i stykker og han har levet alene i årevis. Han forbrød sig mod Jonas, der fik et astma-anfald af overfaldet. Inhalatoren var faldet ud af hans lomme og Brein sad bare i panik og så på at Jonas døde.
Edwin bliver fundet i en jordkælder, da foråret kommer. Han blev efterladt der af to kammerater, Isak og Sverre. De ville have lukket ham ud efter aftensmaden, men Sverre måtte ikke gå ud igen og turde ikke sige hvorfor, for hans far har hænderne skruet løst på. Isak ville ikke gå alene og så blev det som det blev. Og nu bliver der ballade. Isak og Sverre havde et horn i siden på Edwin, fordi han sladrede om dem til lærerne. Men han ville godt være med til at spise det slik, de huggede i den lokale Kiwi. Han bliver fundet liggende i jordkælderen på en Hasselbäck springmadras fra Ikea.
Kristine Ris opdager at hun er gravid og forlader Reinhardt. Han tager det ikke godt og begynder at fantasere om at han en dag vil se en lille pige i rød regnfrakke og vil så rejse sig fra bænken med et strålende smil.
Sejers datter Ingrid er blevet ældre. Hans lille trylledejsfigur er ved at smuldre og Ingrids adoptivsøn Matteus er blevet en høj atletisk teenager på 17 år. Sejer har en shar-pei hund ved navn Robert Frank. Bogens titel går på parafili, dvs det at elske noget andet.
Vi følger tre fortællelinier, Sejer og Skarre, morderen, og Kristine og Reinhardt. Alle har noget at slås med. Skarre er fx vokset op med en far, der var præst. Sejer og Skarre diskuterer pædofile og andre afvigere. Sejer holder på at man skal overholde loven. Norsk lov. Og fx ikke diskutere at den seksuelle lavalder er forskellig fra Sverige til Norge.

villet have børn og nu synes hun at lyset mellem dem er slukket. De finder drengen, den 7-årige Jonas August Løwe og får tilkaldt politiet. Konrad Sejer, Jacob Skarre og en flok teknikere kommer til. Reinhardt og Kristine har fået et godt kig på både manden og hans bil. Sejer og Skarre identificerer drengen og kontakter moderen, Elfrid Løwe. Hun har aldrig haft kontakt til manden, der er far til Jonas, så han ved ikke engang at han har en søn. Reinhardt er selvhævdende på en ucharmerende måde og har taget billeder af liget for at kunne prale med det overfor sine venner. Kristine har bidt mærke i at manden i skoven lignede H. C. Andersen og havde gråt hår. Bilen var hvid og havde fire døre, måske en Granada? Obduktionen viser at Jonas havde astma og døde af et kraftigt anfald, så måske var hans død et uheld? Men han var blevet misbrugt og det var jo nok ikke et uheld. Jonas gik i tredje klasse i Solberg Skole. Reinhardt bestemmer sig for at følge sagen til den engang har ført til en dom. Kristine synes det er skørt og underligt. Skarre og Sejer går ruten igennem som Jonas har fulgt. Bagefter snakker de hyggeligt med en dømt pædofil, Philip Åkeson, som er meget charmerende og intelligent og helt med på at finde ham, der tog livet af Jonas. Åkeson gætter på at det er en debutant, dvs en, der slet ikke er kendt af hverken politi eller pædofile. En Edwin Åsalid på 10 år forsvinder. Det er ellers ikke let, for han vejer tæt på halvfems kg. Hans mor Tulla Åsalid på fyrre år og hendes kæreste Ingemar Brenner er flinke, men Tulla har meget fokus på Ingemar, når han er på besøg. Skarre slår Ingemar Brenner op i politiets system og kan se at han har to afsonede domme for at have bedraget et par tidligere kærester for mange penge. Mon Tulla ved det? Jonas bliver begravet og Edwin er stadig ikke fundet. Reinhardt gik med til Jonas begravelse og det bemærkede Sejer også. Der går to måneder og der er stadig ingen spor af gerningsmanden eller af Edwin. En dag genkender Reinhardt manden i supermarkedet. Wilfred Arent Brein. Han kører i en hvid Toyota Carina. Politiet checker det og i første omgang lader de sig narre af at manden sidder i kørestol. Reinhardt er ikke tilfreds. Det er Kristine heller ikke, for hun finder et billede han har gemt i sin skuffe. En lille pige på fem, seks år. Fotograferet fra brystet og op og med nøgne skuldre.

Description
"A married couple, Reinhardt and Kristine Ris, are out for a Sunday walk when they discover the body of a boy and see the figure of a man limping away. They alert the police, but not before Reinhardt, to Kristine's horror, kneels down and takes photographs of the dead child with his cell phone. Inspectors Konrad Sejer and Jakob Skarre begin to make inquiries in the little town of Solberglia. But then another boy disappears, and an explanation seems more remote than ever. Meanwhile, the Ris's marriage starts to unravel as Reinhardt becomes obsessed with the tragic events and his own part in them" -- from publisher's web site.
Media reviews
While this happens to be an exceptionally fine story, Fossum’s real narrative appeal, readily apparent in Charlotte Barslund’s translation, rests on her ability to see the humanity in even the most wretched soul.

LibraryThing member austcrimefiction
One of the things that I particularly love about really good crime fiction is the way that it highlights the human condition - warts and all. The thing I particularly love about Karin Fossum's books is the way that she explores the notion of the sad, the stupid, the moments in which things go awry.
THE WATER'S EDGE tackles the difficult subject of the death of a child (and the disappearance of another). When Reinhardt and Kristine Ris briefly pass an agitated man at the start of one of their regular walks, they have no idea that they will need to remember that man, his appearance, his state of mind and his vehicle. They only realise that after they discover the body of a young boy in the woods, and Inspector Sejer starts asking a lot of questions. The circumstances of the boy's death appear to be indicating a dreadful fate for the little boy, although the exact cause of death remains a mystery for quite a while. Sejer's investigation takes on an even more sinister overtone when a second little boy disappears.
Whilst the death of the little boy and the search for his attacker is paramount to Sejer, there's some interesting psychological exploration going on in THE WATER'S EDGE. Reinhardt and Kristine's marriage is a fragile affair to start off with, although Reinhardt's bull-headed stubbornness and self-involvement means he probably had no idea that Kristine has been having second thoughts about the relationship for a long time. As Reinhardt's voyeuristic reaction to the discover of the little boy becomes more and more extreme, it simply confirms for Kristine that her marriage has been a mistake. Add to that Reinhardt's refusal to have children and Kristine's increasing yearning for a child, and this is a relationship which is destined for problems. The portrayal of the affects of the boy's death in such a personal thing as the relationship of the hapless discoverers of the body poignantly draws a picture of how profound and unexpected the affects of murder can be.
The other side of the story - the perpetrator is equally telling. As strange as this may seem, there's some room for compassion for the perpetrator of these acts - these moments of misjudgement. Lifelong damage, instant mistakes, the sad, the pathetic, the inexcusable, the stupid, the unwittingly cruel, shame and personal loathing. It applies equally to the death of a poor little boy, his body laid out with some care and reverence in the woods, as it does to another little boy - overweight, over-indulged, different, ashamed and shamed against, who has gone missing.

Intelligent, literate crime fiction that doesn't try to mug the reader or sensationalise the subject matter.

Again Fossum looks at pedophelia from a psychological view. A horrid topic but she is able to handle it without freaking the reader out. I don't know why she keeps picking this issue, but she explores it in a Rendell-like manner.

#6 in the Inspector Sejer series.
They were a couple, but they had been married for many years and they no longer held hands. The woman was wearing a raspberry red coat, the man a white windbreaker. He was constantly one step of her, tall, self-assured and fit. The woman watched him furtively while
As they begin the return path of their usual Sunday afternoon walk in the woods near the lake, Kristine and Ris Reinhardt meet a man leaving the forest. Shortly after that they come across the body of a young boy naked from the waist down.
Identifying the boy is not very difficult for Inspector Sejer and his colleague Jacob Skarre. He has already been reported missing by his anxious mother. Working out how he died is more difficult, as is locating his murderer.
The search for the murderer almost takes a back seat to some of the issues that Fossum wanted to explore in this novel - why couples grow apart, how paedophiles are made, why something that is regarded as a sexual offence in one society has traditionally not been so in other cultures.
The disappearance of another ten year old boy from the same school, this time a morbidly obese one, serves to complicate the murder investigation, and introduces other elements in the investigation of human behaviour.
THE WATER'S EDGE is a relatively quick read but raises some disturbing social issues.

Inspector Sejer, yet again, is trying to find out what happened to a child who has disappeared, in a small Norwegian town. This isn't the first time Fossum has used this situation, but it does not grow boring. Her forte is the psychological thriller, where motive is all, and always ambiguous.

If one didn't know better, one would assume from reading Fossum's crime mysteries, that murderers and paedophiles run amok in Norway.
A couple, taking their weekly Sunday walk through Linde Forest, are brushed past by a man stumbling through the woods and later discover the body of a 7 year old boy
In the course of their investigation, another child goes missing, and the pressure to find the killer mounts for Inspector Sejer.
Without many clues to go on, except the DNA from semen from the dead boy, Inspector Sejer's investigation proceeds frustratingly slowly. They research paedophilia and consider previously convicted child sex offenders in the area.
In the meantime, the relationship between the couple who found the dead boy starts to undergo a change.
Fossum has great talent in subtly weaving in shorter intrigues about other characters without losing focus on the main plot and story. In this book, there is an unexpected twist at the end, making it a very satisfying read.

As Inspector Sejer and Jacob Skarre begin their inquiries, they discover that a white car has been noticed by the children at a school to be slowly driving past every time the children are let out at the end of the school day. Notices are sent to parents to pick their children up rather than letting them make their own way home until the killer is found.In the course of their investigation, another child goes missing, and the pressure to find the killer mounts for Inspector Sejer.

Thankfully the narrator changed with different chapters. I cringed at the meekness of Kristine Ris. There was quite a complexity of people and possible culprits, altho (because of the chapters narrated by the perpetrator) it was also clear that none of them were the perpetrator. The second incident
I kept confusing the 2 detectives (wish they're last names had started w/different letters). Their speculations as they tried to understand the perpetrator, sometimes on the mark, sometimes astray, were interesting reading.
I wonder if the translator is Scots--wouldn't an American have translated "lake" instead of "loch"? Despite the internet, it is pretty difficult to find out anything about a translator.

Fossum returns to the dangers of childhood in this story of missing children, two boys, one frail, found dead in the forest, one obese, not found at all. Again, the reader knows a little more than the detective for most of the book, and so the plot is more about how Sejer comes to know the truth,
Along the way we meet two mothers who handle their despair in entirely different ways, a husband and wife deeply affected by their participation as witnesses, and the fears in a community when children are lost.

pedophile. A couple out for a walk discover the crime, shortly after seeing a suspicious person leaving the scene. There’s little question he is the perpetrator. Sejer and Skarre have in-depth conversations about pedophilia, Fossum takes us into the mind of the perpetrator, and to be honest it was almost too much to take. I missed the scenes from previous books where Sejer is at home hanging out with his dog or his girlfriend, which provide both insight to the character and relief from the details of the crime. I’ll give Fossum props for a solid story, but am glad to put this one behind me. Show Less
