Over the last 20 years or so, there has been a growing appreciation in the United States of Nordic mysteries. Often dark and violent with lonely heroes, they present an image we do not necessarily associate with the Nordic countries. Some you might wish to read:
- “Don’t Look Back” by Karin Fossum
- “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo”(Millennium Series) by Stieg Larsson
- “Faceless Killers”(Kurt Wallander Series) by Henning Mankell
- “The Bat”(Harry Hole Series) by Jo Nesbo
- “Backstrom: He Who Kills the Dragon” (Backstrom Series) by Leif G. W. Persson
- “Last Rituals” by Yrsa Siguroardottir
