The Indian Bride by Karin Fossum

Gunder Jomann is a man who keeps to himself in the small town of Elvestad, Norway. One day he gets the idea to travel to India and come home with a bride. Gunder arrives back in Elvestad with his bride to join him later. Unfortunately, the day he's supposed to meet Poona at the airport, his sister, Marie, is in a terrible car accident. Gunder rushes to Marie's bedside. However, on her way to Elvestad, Poona is brutally murdered. Who would want Poona dead? Several people in town seem to be keeping secrets about that fateful night. Will Inspector Konrad Sejer and his colleague Jacob Skarre be able to break through and find the killer? This is Fossum's fourth police procedural featuring Sejer and Skarre. I read the first book in the series, Don't Look Back when it came out in 2003 and thought it was ok. The Indian Bride was much better and I look forward to going back and reading books two and three.
