Yes, I did suspect that translator might not be quite on the mark.<br /><br />It is gratifying to know that Läckberg and other authors are getting the attention here they have long enjoyed elsewhere. When I travel in Europe, I can see the immense popularity of detective fiction, with many authors writing in English being translated. Nice to know the trend is also going in reverse.<br /><br />Thanks again for stopping by to comment.G.M.

May I correct you? "Good Day, my name is GM Malliet, and I have written a Swedish blockbuster set in Stockholm."<br />In Swedish: "Goddag, mitt namn är GM Malliet, och jag har skrivit en svensk kioskvältare som utspelar sig i Stockholm." <br /><br />Camilla Läckberg is one of the most popular authors in Sweden and Europe. She has an international website: www.camillalackberg.com<br />We really like crime novels in Sweden. One of the top favorite authors are Michael Connelly, Jeffrey Deaver, Patricia Cornwell and Elizabeth George. Good luck with the reading!<br />Yours,Liselottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06979347554188116419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-92218416106366199672010-06-17T18:48:16.988-04:002010-06-17T18:48:16.988-04:00GM--and the mystery is--where, exactly, is that ta...GM--and the mystery is--where, exactly, is that tattoo? :DAlice Loweeceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09269785237562203610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-7097661630460208142010-06-17T18:09:04.303-04:002010-06-17T18:09:04.303-04:00Alice - The Nun with the Dragon Tattoo.

A mystery writer named Barbara Fister ("Through the Cracks") maintains a website and blog about Scandinavian crime fiction. A very interesting discussion.<br /><br />As for what's next... I'm clueless, I'm afraid. But I wouldn't mind if a bit of that Scandinavian magic rubbed off on my Norwegian-American protagonist Chloe Ellefson....Kathleen Ernsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07009876100214388898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-14510285376053006322010-06-17T16:15:25.358-04:002010-06-17T16:15:25.358-04:00Darrell - you weren't inspired by Dan Brown...Darrell - you weren't inspired by Dan Brown's prose?

I didn't fall in love with Harry Potter, I would never have predicted the resurrence of vampires, and the Dan Brown phenom still leaves me cratching my head. (It's a "me" thing, I'm sure.) So, I suppose I'll just continue to write my fabulous-amazing-wonderful stories and hope that some late-breaking fad will run me down.<br /><br />Excellent post Gin.Darrell Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08394984700734588887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-2820314737921559492010-06-17T12:20:08.881-04:002010-06-17T12:20:08.881-04:00Angels, fairies, sprites are all on the horizon, I...Angels, fairies, sprites are all on the horizon, I fear.
