review 1: This antology presents a lot of amazing swedish authors. Thanks to that I really fell in love with swedish crime novels, especially Lars Kepler (even the book doesn't present any of their work.) I think reading this book is a good way to getting know the different styles of writing of different authors and that makes the reader choose which one they would like to try. Some of the stories are not that 'dark' but some (i think the first two or three) are written in a really mysterious way (i really felt myself shiver while reading the first short story). To be honest, I expected more from Mankell & Nåsser collaboration and after reading their short story I wasn't that much amazed by it. And it's funny that neither Larsson fulfilled my expectations. After all, i really recom... moremend this anthology to crime novels lovers and also to those who just want to start reading this genre but can't force themself to do so (my case, lol). enjoyyyyy
review 2: I really enjoyed this book. A wonderful group of short stories by some of the best Swedish Mystery writers. What was a bonus was a short Biography of each writers work and life at the beginning of each story.I enjoyed each and every tale and finished the book in about 2 days.I did notice some spelling errors in the text though but this just added to the charm of reading these wonderful short stories . I went to my local library after reading this novel and did pick up a few books written by some of the Authors who contributed to this book. A great read. I do recommend this book.! less
