13. Running late this week- "The Murder of Harriet Krohn" by Karin Fossum

This is a rather different book- it is NOT a murder mystery as we are eye witnesses to the murder. The latter 3rd could be called a police procedural as police inspector Konrad Sejer who has been quietly investigating the murder for several months begins to interview the murderer.

I'd like to read others take on this book. I finished it Thursday. The 1st chapters made me think of Dostoevsky's [u}Crime and Punishment/ I read chapter 1 right after starting [u}Harriet Krohn and had to discipline myself not to continue with Dostoevsky which I haven't read since high school- a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.
