I swear I have read the Demon of Dakar but for the life of me, it is not ringing a bell with me. I tend to remember though that I thought it was ok..not fantastic. I think I may have to reread it. Lucky for me, I don't remember it as being very long.
This one is a little harder to get into. This is 3 story lines at once and while I hopeful they will all come together I'm not yet seeing it though it is now getting more interesting.
See..I swear that is what I thought with Demon of Dakar.
I just added The Hand.. to my TBR, thanks Naomi and Diane.
It's always quite interesting to discover new authors, isn't it?
Hey, Kjell Erikkson - a new one for my list - thanks guys!
I know I might be preaching to the converted, but I sometimes go through this list to discover new nordic authors, although I believe this is mainly for mysteries: http://www.inspector-wallander.org/do...
It's just a list of other scandinavian authors.
I finished this and it was different than alot of the other nordic novels I have read. The story lines do end up connecting yet it is not as straightforward as many others. Also there are a lot more personal details which is not usually the case. Rated it 3 1/2 stars.

great list, thanks for sharing Julia.
I just finished The Princess of Burundi. It was the first Nordic Noir book I really didn't like. It was just hard to get into, it felt really choppy as the prospective kept changing, and the ending was incredibly abrupt.

I agree, Melissa. I see that with a lot of KE's books. He isn't an author I seek out as I do others.
