New Books in April
The following titles are published for the first time in April. A few have their premiere in the US, one in Australia but mostly they are UK publications. This is taken from Euro Crime's Future Releases by month page which currently goes up to 2010:
I don't think I've read Camilla Lackbeg, Karen, in fact I am sure of it. Do you recommend her?
ReplyDeleteThis is the first one to be translated into English so can't say yet..but she's a Swedish crime writer so can't be bad :-).
ReplyDeleteNotes from a lurker here.
ReplyDeleteI've read all three of Lackbeg's Fjallbacka novels (in the German translations) and really enjoyed them. As pure crime novels go, I wouldn't necessarily say they were the best, but for crime with a good dollop of ordinary life, they were excellent. I found the main characters very appealing - they were described with the sort of touch I like in non-crime novels but sometimes find missing in detective stories. (Sometimes the baggage gets to me!) And the Swedishness comes across nicely without being too obvious.
Well worth a read. A small proviso - I suspect that Lackberg's readership may skew female, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. I found the books rather refreshing, actually. (My day job has me reading Thomas Mann a lot. Hmmm.)
Welcome Lauren. Hope to hear more from you :-). Many thanks for the comments on the Lackberg books. I await the Ice Princess with interest though I'm more of a plot over characters gal in general but there are always exceptions!
