Jens Lapidus may be the next new thing in Scandinavian crime fiction. It is still unclear when his books will be released in English, but I have read them, and they are very good.

Harry Hole’s CV

Peter — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 21:06:43 +0000

Are you interested in who that strange detective Harry Hole in Jo Nesbo‘s excellent crime fiction series is? Do you, like me, sometimes ponder a little on the odd personalities of the heroes of the various crime fiction series? There is no need to speculate any more! On the official Jo Nesbo site, they have now posted Harry Hole’s CV.

At ScandinavianBooks, we have just posted our review of the latest book in the Harry Hole crime fiction series, The Snowman (forthcoming, will be released in March in the UK.) Also, here is a small video where Jo Nesbo discusses who Harry Hole is. And he ought to know!

And, while we’re at it, why not a video by Jo Nesbo’s band “di Derre” (“those guys”) about girls as well? Quite nice, actually!
