Not perfect, by any means, but good reading. I've certainly come across books that were technically better, but all three authors do something that is very important to me - produce highly likeable characters. With families, even. I can forgive a lot when I enjoy spending time with the people about whom I'm reading!<br /><br />(The Maria Wern novels have been adapted for TV. Amusingly, the sidekick in season one is played by the same actor who played Irene Huss's husband...slightly confusing the first time I found the programme via channel-surfing.)<br /><br />As a footnote, I wonder why so much more Nordic crime gets translated into German than English. It's not as if the market's that enormous compared to US+UK+AUS+NZ+CAN etc...Not that I'm complaining!Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03905529307987104069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32065323.post-89724544727600099902012-05-16T02:13:26.764+01:002012-05-16T02:13:26.764+01:00Wow, sounds like my kind of books!!!
