A Crime is Afoot 
José Ignacio – Oh, this is a well-written series. I think you’ll enjoy it. I like the Konrad Sejer character quite a lot. It’s so refreshing when a sleuth isn’t a despondent alcoholic who battles personal demons all the time. And Fossum does a good job I think of constructing absorbing plots.
Margot what looks interesting to me is that sejer doesn’t play a central roll in most of the books, but you are right. It’s good, for a change, to have a detective who isn’t an alcoholic and doesn’t need to expend most of his time fighting personal demons.
Thanks, Jose Ignacio. It will be interesting to read the first in the series later this year. It is dreadful when these authors suffer from TOOO syndrome (translated out of order) – Kjell Erikssen, Liza Marklund, Helene Tursten et al. Even worse when a reviewer (usually a newspaper reviewer) has not realised and criticises the book on story-logic grounds – no fault of the author’s!
Wonder why publishers act this way, Maxine. Quite annoying.
It is a good series Jose Ignacio. I’ve read 8 of them and given them all high ratings.
Your suggestions have always proved very useful, Kerrie. I do appreciate them very much.
