Re: “Why Scandinavians Really Write the Best Crime Novels”
Agreed with this perceptive article and with Mark Asch. As you write in your article, there are other Sandinavian authors examining society within a crime-fiction framework in this way: Asa Larsson, Karin Alvtegen, Kjell Erickson, Ake Edwardsen et al (Sweden), Karin Fossum (Norway) and Lief Davisen (Denmark) as well as those you cite and others. I also think that other European authors are writing similar books, eg Andrea Camilleri and Gianrico Carofiglio against the background of Mafia and political/societal corruption in Italy. (and so on....)
