Bad Intentions, by Karin Fossum

Another positively miserable Nordic Noir, from the relentlessly depressing Karin Fossum. Bleak and unpleasant.

The Water's Edge, by Karin Fossum

Surprise! It's disturbing, tense, violent and depressing Scandanavian noir. Decent atmospherics, but the plot was a little thin, and, as I said, disturbing, tense, violent, and depressing, including the lighthearded elements of pedophilia, murder, domestic violence, children killing children, and I'm pretty sure there was a dead seal or something somewhere, but I skimmed that bit. I'm a bit of a wimp, really.
