2. The Hand That Trembles, by Kjell Eriksson (Sweden)

I'm pretty much addicted to Scandinavian crime fiction, so I go through the Fantastic Fiction site quite regularly and pick out an author whose books look interesting, then order everything they've written from my local library. This is the final Kjell Eriksson book of the four that are currently available in English.

These four have all been good, interesting stories. I like the protaganist - a female detective in Uppsala, Sweden - and the writing is solid with creative plots and compelling characters. Whenever I finish a series like this, I often feel a pang that I'm leaving behind people I've come to care about with whom I've enjoyed spending time.

I haven't figured out which author to try next. I'm on the waiting list for several new books from various authors whose series I've already gone through from the beginning - but I'm going to need something to tide me over while I wait!
