Black Seconds by Karin Fossum - translated from Norwegian - first published in 2007
9 year old Ida Joner goes missing on her way to the local shops. Inspector Sejer and his colleague Jacob Skarre investigate the disappearance but they have little to go on. The characters of Ida's mother and aunt and her children and that of a simple local man called Johannes are well drawn but I found the ending a bit of an anticlimax. 5/10
