She has a couple of different series plus stand along books. She also wrote the second season of "Trapped" a series on Netflix and I believe one of her series is being developed for TVMargie from Torontohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10103835021764804099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-4391654658018138572021-07-18T10:36:01.652+01:002021-07-18T10:36:01.652+01:00I really enjoyed (though I'm not sure that'...I really enjoyed (though I'm not sure that's the word) Val McD's "The Skeleton Road" - it's a stark reminder of the threads attaching us to the past. My favourite scandi-noir series has to be The Bridge, but we've enjoyed The Killing, Wallender, and various others. Though last night, I was reduced to asking Mr FD which countries they've all been set in. I think we're only missing Finland from the Scandinavian countries now! <br />Another interesting series, thpough not so much crime based as politics is Borgen. Dirty machinations in Danish (Swedish?) politics.<br />We also enjoy spot the actor ("Wasn't he the teacher in Rita...Wasn't she the opposition leader in Borgen...?)Fat Dormousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03840571411333027928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-49444389712786243162021-07-18T09:00:11.950+01:002021-07-18T09:00:11.950+01:00I understand your unease.

This technique is not so good when it's a Eurocrime and I need to read the subtitles to keep up with plot.

Our library has a good selection too & I've reserved the first in two of the series.

Val McDermid is a favourite and I recently read her non-fiction book on Forensics, which is just as much a page turner as her fiction!Bushladynoreply@blogger.com
