Scandinavian Literature

[close] Thanks to a tattooed, adventurous , bisexual computer hacker named Lisbeth Salander, Scandinavian crime fiction is now one of the most popular categories among mystery readers around the world. So far Noir-flavored books from Scandinavia have sold more than 6 million copies in the United States and 35 million copies worldwide and have become a publishing phenomenon. Given the increasing interest in the Nordic works of crime fiction, Mystery Tribune has created this group for Goodreads members to discuss and exchange insights about this sub-category. We publish a weekly list of Best Sellers in Scandinavian Crime, based on the sales data in the United States and usually pick top sellers or new titles from this list for our discussions.
