Scandinavian crime fiction

[thrihyrne]

Sadly I'm reading the last of Arnaldur Indriðason's books featuring Erneldur the detective. I've decided to move on to a couple of other Scandinavian authors, including someone who's apparently quite well known and popular, Henning Mankell. I'm also going to get two books by another Icelandic author, Yrsa Sigurðardóttir. I'm curious if anyone on my flist has read either Mankell or Sigurðardóttir and, if so, what comments you have about them. Thanks for any input that you have!

I may skip Yrsa then, or give her a try of one book. I looked up the eth via webmonkey's special characters. Want to get my spelling right, especially with Icelandic since I'm fascinated by the language! :D

Haven't read Stieg Larsson, but I'll put him on the list, as well as Fred Vargas. And I'm not buying these books but getting them from the library. I'm too cheap!

Thanks for the comment!
