Dee’s comments from the Nordic Noir group.

good point - Naomi and I tend to agree more than disagree (unless it is about romances, then I always rate higher than her)...

makes me glad I didn't spend an audible credit on it

The Devil's Star is 1.99 on amazon right now - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006...

thanks Richard! I grabbed Unseen to read and looking forward to it

In an effort to be more organized (lol)...here is our March Author of the Month...

I've never read anything by her, but look forward to checking out her stuff - what about you guys?

My intro was through Stieg Larsson - I picked up The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series during an audiobook sale (narrated by the fabulous Simon Vance - who is still a favorite to this day) and I was hooked. Then came James Thompson

Introductory Authors

Steig Larsson
Karin Fossum
Henning Mankell

So I was thinking about this question, after reading several of the posts in the Introdution thread and then the geek in me came out (no comments from the peanut galley and that means you, Naomi!!)

What was your introduction to NN? (author/series)

i'm going to track results for the heck of it

I remember you venting about it...lol! probably not a good idea to write a book about how your "husbands" family screwed you...

unfortunately because Larsson died without a will - even though he and his partner were together for a long time (they never got married), by Swedish law (is my understanding) that everything reverted to his father/brother...and there is a huge court case going on

you guys with the Stieg Larsson void could try James Thompson - he did a pretty good job filling my void

nope, not a trained one - my focus is workplace psychology - so more on the motivation, performance improvement, group dynamics side of the house - but there are a few qualifications I am looking at doing - myers-biggs assessment qualification

oh fun - I like psychology geeks like me ;) mine is a qualitative inquire on the descriptive experience of individuals in workplace teams where member change occurs - got lots of stats in the research, but need some descriptive experiences

I echo what Anna says - I make sure to give myself at least an hour at night to just decompress and read - I'm def. lagging a bit behind some of my friends in the phd program - but they are starting to get a bit burnt out because that is all they have been doing

what is your phd in?

i mgiht do that as well Jeremy...or amazon.co.uk

good luck Ellie! I know the whole PhD feeling - i'm hoping to have mine done this year - this dang dissertation...lol!

no way you can work your magic Steven and get Guilt translated ;)

They are all stand-alones so you don't need to worry abt publishing order Diane

Welcome Ellie! I'm def intrigued to read more after betrayal

I just wasn't what I was expecting - going to try and get a review up today
