Nordic Noir discussion

I can't believe that we are more than half-way through the year already...soon all the kids will be going back to school (lol)

So who do people want to have as our featured author for August?

reminder, they must have at least 3 books available in english (or due to be released in the month they are selected in order to qualify)

Nominations will be open until the 28th and we will vote until the 31st

How about Johan Theron?

Susan - is that the right now - i'm not finding any mysteries written with that name ;)

It looks like he is a translator, not an author. From that link.

She must mean: Johan Theorin.

Mayhem to the rescue!! and it does look like 3 books are available in english - book 3 is called the Quarry, but amazon only has it from a limited number of sellers

How about Edwardson Ake. His Inspector Winter books look pretty good, and there are at least five of them available on kindle in English.

First book of series is: Death Angels.

Thank you, and sorry for the typo!

fixing mayhem's link now - Åke Edwardson

Lol. And thanks.

I love Åke Edwardson-I'd be happy to read more by him.

Edwardson sounds good!

Edwardson is terrific, and Winter is a bit different from the usual Scandi detective--he even dresses well! Plus it's cool to read about Gothenberg (Goteberg?).

I am going to nominate Sara Blaedel. Although, I wasn't that impressed with her first two releases (too much romance for me). I just read her third Only One Lifeand it was pretty dynamic!

I can't get over how many Nordic Noir authors there are to discover!

How 'bout it...and more each day! It's about time!!

what Naomi said!! sorry guys - i'm getting the poll up now - its been one of those weeks...
