Scandinavian Mysteries

Borkmann's pointI’ve been enjoying fiction by Scandinavian authors lately. Håkan Nesser, whose Swedish titles have been translated into English, has written a series of mysteries with Inspector Van Veeteren as the lead investigator.   Borkmann’s Point, the first in the series includes many characters and builds into a crescendo who-done-it.  Håkan Nesser has won the Best Swedish Crime Novel Award three times.    I enjoyed this one enough that I’ve put a hold on the next Nesser novel with Inspector Van Veeteren, The Return.
