The Water's Edge by Karin Fossum

Reinhardt and Kristine Ris are a long-married couple who can barely stand to be in each other's company. When they find the body of a young boy while out on a regular walk together, the experience affects them differently. Reinhardt thinks it might be his fifteen minutes of fame, while Kristine dreams about the much longed for child that she feels Reinhardt has denied her. The murder case falls to Inspector Konrad Sejer and Jacob Skarre and they feel they have a great lead because the Rises saw the person who dumped the boy in the woods. When another boy goes missing, everyone wonders if the same individual is responsible. The Water's Edge continues Fossum's Sejer/Skarre mystery series. While I liked the book, it was missing the strong psychological aspect that some of her other books have. Her masterpiece in the series is definitely The Indian Bride.
