Similar style to Steig Larsson?

[mrsmillsfanclub]

I'm completely addicted to his books having read the first and have got halfway through book 2, have already bought 'The girl who kicked the hornet's nest'.
Is there a writer who writes on a similar theme/style?

If only. If only there were millions of them. Apparently there are other Swedish writers who are not dissimilar but I can't tell you their names; others doubtless will.

Oooh I loved these books too, just finished The girl who kicked the hornet's nest. I didn't think I would, but bought them to see what the hoo hah was.

Will watch with interest.

I love his books.
Jo Nesbo is good, but Steig Larsson was better iykwim

henning mankel books are also vg. they are the wallander books. i really like them jo nesbo also vg.

He's Danish, but The Exception by Christian Jungerson is quite similar.

Try Arnaldur Indridason and Liza Marklund. I prefer Henning Mankell and Jo Nesbo to Steig Larsson, but that's personal opninion.

Camilla Läckberg and Mari Jungstedt are quite similar and great authors.

Camilla L's books are not on Kindle, yet, grrrrr! Will have a look out for Mari J.

is it ann holm?
ex justice minister

nope. she is "I am david"

Per Wahloo - Swedish crime/police stories from the 1960's - definately influenced Henning Mankel and Steig Larsson.

Like Larsson, do you need to start the Jo Nesbo books from the beginning?

My father love the Larsson trilogy which I introduced him to, so the pressure's on to find something as good or the Next Literary Big Thing since he's spent hours discussing the books with his friends.

no it is ann holm

arrgh no its ann HOLT
i am going now

I started Jo Nesbo's 'The Snowman' which is Nr7 in the series, but it didn't bother me. I think it's up to you personally wheere you want to start with it, I could be wrong. Your dad would love it, I'm sure.

Thanks Mdavza, that's helpful

Kanga - the Nesbo books have helpfully been translated out of order anyway. It doesn't matter that much what order you read them in, but you do inevitably end up with plot spoilers if you read out of order.

Ah, that explains a lot.

Peter Hoeg 'Miss Smilla's feeling for snow' is similar-ish.
