Scandi Thriller Books

Hello
I enjoy reading a lot of literary fiction and watching good Scandi noir dramas. Does anyone have any suggestion of what to read? I loved The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, so if there’s anything of a similar level of excellence, that would be fab! Nothing trashy, thanks.
Thank you.

It's not my usual genre. But I recently read The Keeper of Lost Causes by Jussi Adler Olsen, which I unexpectedly really enjoyed.

Others that I hear are excellent, but haven't read myself are:
The Snowman by Jo Nesbo
The Ice Princess by Camilla Lackberg
The Hypnotist by Lars Keplar

Ragnar Jonasson and Lilja Sigurdardottir and worth a look too. I was gifted a Tess Gerritson for Christmas but haven't read it yet.

Interested in this thread?

I second the recommendation for Jussi Adler Olsen. He has a series with a detective called Karl Moerk (sp?) so read in order if you can.

the inspector Barbarotti series is also good, written by Hakan Nessor as is his Van Veteran series.

Definitely try Jo Nesbo, all the Harry Hole books are good.

Yrsa Sigurdardottir is fantastic. There are several different series, and a few stand alone, some with a supernatural element.
