Thought I'd pose this question as there's number of good crime fiction works coming from that part of the globe.
I'm making my way through Jo Nesbos Harry Hole books following a work colleagues recommendation. I'm Currently on 'The Snowman' whilst he's reading books by Hakan Nesser.
I've throughly enjoyed the twists, turns and plots in the four Harry Hole novels I've read so far. I can't wait for 'The Snowman' film to be released.
Has anyone enjoyed any other authors works from this part of the world?
Has anyone tried Gunnloth's Tale by Svava Jakbosdottir? Originally published in Iceland in 1987, then translated into French and Danish, but only published in English last year. A teenage girl steals an artefact from the National Museum in Copenhagen but the story becomes far more complex: weaving a crime from an ancient myth into the present day. There is environmental disaster, terrorism and an intense scrutiny of a mother in crisis.
Brilliantly imagined plot. Not necessary to be familiar with Norse myth to enjoy this novel, but it might help enhance your understanding and interpretation of events. You will read it more than once: give it a go.
