Nobody saw him fall through the dense November darkness.

Read this one a couple of years ago, so I read The Torso. I really enjoyed it and think it's a good series.

Just finished Detective Inspector Huss, first time I'd read any of Helene Tursten's work. I really enjoyed reading it, now I'll look out for her other books.

[Florence]

Just got this from the library and read the first few pages. So far, so good!

[Florence]

I'm about 50 pages into the book and I'm really impressed. The author has a no-nonsense writing style that's a pleasure to read--for instance, the description of the lavish apartment is amazingly detailed and so visual. She also keeps the plot moving while creating full-bodied characters and throwing in some humor. And I think it's sufficiently dark to qualify as noir!

I am still with Michael Ridpath :( (the emoticon refers to my slow progress, not to the book) but I saw the Swedish films with Irene Huss and liked them. Have you?

Haven't seen these films, but will check out if I can get them.

I love how many of these noir books have been made into films; that way when you run out of books, you can still interact with the characters!

I loved the first three of her books and read them in June..One after the other! I am sorry to have to wait for the fourth. Writing style, character development and story lines are excellent IMO. A delightful change. the Torso was chilling! Hope she writes much more. If you speak German or naturally the original language, the three films looked excellent when I saw them on ARD. I am trying to track down with English sub titles so if anyone knows more, let me know please.
