According to Swedish Newspaper Dagens Nyheter, these were the bestselling authors in Europe in 2009:

1. Stieg Larsson
2. Stephenie Meyer
3. Dan Brown
4. Paolo Giordano
5. Carlos Ruiz Zafón
6. Camilla Läckberg
7. Herman Koch
8. Tatiana de Rosnay
9. Henning Mankell
10. John Grisham

It is not very surprising that Stieg Larsson is on the top of the list. More surprising, to me at least, is that two other Swedes – Camilla Läckberg and Henning Mankell are also on the list. Quite a success for Swedish crime fiction!
