review 1: Think this was better than the previous two (so three and a half stars, really). This story takes place in the summer and with an archaeological dig as part of the background. Good at capturing the atmosphere of the Gotland at this time of year, and with lots of background inform...

review 1: I love this author and waited a long time for this book to be translated and released. This is the only problem with these books by Northern European authors, waiting for the books to be translated and sometimes, the publishers take them out of order and just publish them randoml...

review 1: Another really tidy mystery from Mari Jungstedt, featuring her very normal, pleasant police detective Anders Knutas and the staff of the Visby criminal police. I very much suspect that there is far more violent crime in Jungstedt's novels than there is in the real Visby or Gotla...

review 1: I love this series, the plots are intriguing and always keep me hooked. This is yet another author who tells a great story and without the need to over-sensationalize and go nuts to wrap up her stories. This is the Inspector Knutas series, a down to earth policeman who is investi...

review 1: Excellent, pacey whodunnit - who would want to kill an art dealer/gallery island on the island of Gotland. There are so many twists and turns in this tale that I really did not see the result coming. Some clever detective work by Knutas and his team, and dangerous investigation...

review 1: In true Scandinavian murder fashion, there is lots of blame to go around when the killer is finally revealed. The plot is clean and straight forward, although no less heartbreaking for those attributes. The heart of the problem is a very selfish mother who mistakenly has four c...

review 1: Poslední dobou patří švédská spisovatelka Mari Jungstedtová mezi moje nejoblíbenější autorky detektivek. Její příběhy jsou promyšlené do nejmenších podrobností, nikde nezůstávají nepříjemně plandat nezodpovězené otázky ani situace, které otevřeně křičí do světa, že jsou do příběh...

review 1: 4th in series. I like these books mainly for the setting and sense of place (which here as before is, mostly, Gotland, although there are episodes in Stockholm too). The descriptions are good and there are lots of small details about the history and culture. There are some irrita...

review 1: I seem to be gathering quite a collection of Scandanavian crime novels lately! I’ve got Joe Nesbo, Camilla Lackburg, Ake Edwardson…and now I can add Mari Jungstedt to the list. Killer’s Art is a very good mystery novel set in the art world of Gotland, an upscale, picturesque Swed...

review 1: I enjoyed this one in the Anders Knutas series - though I got it out of order (I got two Mari Jungstedt books at once, and based on the copyright dates I thought this was the second one of the two, but the other one (The Double Silence) comes earlier in the sequence.It didn't rea...
