And Dorte makes a good point at djskrimiblog, that it's not just pedophilia that Sejer and Skarre talk about throughout The Water's Edge, it's paraphilia (hence the original Norwegian title).Glenn Harperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04869155065647936216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15258276.post-31049319070842659202009-08-06T15:34:03.935-07:002009-08-06T15:34:03.935-07:00Great review.

The gap between "oh, how horrible!" and the banality of everyday evil was handled very well, and as you say she gives us more than one ending and leaves one unsettlingly open.

Interesting to see the differences.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10689314012050314027noreply@blogger.com
