It was followed by To mistenkelige personer (1933), a crime novel based on actual events that took place in 1926. To mistenkelige personer was praised by many critics, including Sigurd Hoel. Both I sommer and To mistenkelige personer were inspired by Ernest Hemingway's writings.Larsen's third novel, Week-end i evigheten (1934), was much more experimental.

A film version of To mistenkelige personer was directed by Tancred Ibsen in 1950, but showing the film in public was forbidden in the Supreme Court of Norway in 1952, in order to protect one of the persons whose story it was based on. In 2007, the film was allowed to be shown in public again.
