Scandanavian Crime

[woodelf]

Many years ago, I read/listened Maj Sjowall and in recent times it has been Henning Mankell, Stieg Larsson and Jo Nesbo, but are there any more Scandanavian crime authors out there and on whom am I missing out? Ta Muchly.

You can navigate around by clicking on the authors name .Some of them have websites and there are some reviews .
Also you can cross reference the titles in Fantastic Fiction where you'll get a brief synopsis of anything that may interest you .

Craig Russell has a fantastic series of books based in Hamburg police but is very informative about Scandanavia, the first is Bloodeagle and they need to be read in order.

Many Thanks CC1, but I've heard all but one of Craig Russell's Jan Fabel series and his latest, The Valkerie's Song is next on my list to listen to, once I've finished Jo Nesbo's Redeemer.
