You're right Brenda. I forgot that for some reason the first two haven't been translated into English, just the next nine. I'll have look for another one :)

[Brenda, Suspense lover!]

That's very weird Carolyn!! So much for reading the series from the beginning! Sorry kiddo...

[Carolyn]

Here's a #1 in what looks like a good Swedish noir series:

Unwanted by Kristina Ohlsson, translated by Sarah Death

Great choice Kylie! I'd vote for it if I hadn't already read it. Such a good series!

Phrynne from what I can see the Keigo Higashino book The Devotion of Suspect X is marked as #3 in the Inspector Galileo series, and appears the first 2 were not translated into English?
As we have to step on board with the series somewhere, and I thnk it would be a great read, I fine to see it nominated. It is a little confusing as the book is notes as Book 1 in some places.

Thanks Lisa. Yes the place I picked it up from said it was the first book in the series but I should have checked it here on Goodreads where it is indeed book three. I am going to leave it on my personal want to read list but take it out of the running here.

[Phrynne, Mystery lover!]

I will try this one instead. It has been on my want to read list forever.

Sun Storm by Åsa Larsson
