Camilla Läckberg #1: "Understanding why someone does something terrible like a murder is interesting."
Jean Edith Camilla Läckberg Eriksson is a Swedish crime writer. She has been translated into 33 languages. Läckberg's books have received special praise for detail and "in-depth characterization". Those around are observed for behaviour, then the protagonist is hidden in a plethora of characters-although the readers are never deceived per se. What interests is primarily psychology:-just how 'horrible' people are capable of being! Läckberg - sometimes called the Swedish Agatha Christie - became a writer after her husband and parents enrolled her in a creative writing course as a Christmas present: "For me actually, specific images – snapshots – come first, and then the story starts to come together from those bits and pieces. I am very visual when I write, I "see" the story in pictures and writing a book is like having a movie running in my head 24/7." + Erica Falck & Patrik Hedström series: Ice Princess The Preacher The Stonecutter The Gallows Bird The Hidden Child The Drowning The Lighthouse Keeper The Angel Maker's Wife __________________

You're welcome!
I encourage anybody who likes crime books to start the Erica Falck & Patrik Hedström series. I read the first three books so far. __________________

I'm not into crime books, but I'm sure there are people around here that would love them

It's one of my favourite genres, so I got hooked immediately.

And I totally agree with the opinion that she's the Swedish Agatha Christie. __________________
