The Princess of Burundi

By Kjell Erikkson


Referred to me by my friend Susan


I am working another track this year on Swedish/Scandinavian crime. A friend of mine provided a list of recommended authors and this is the first in a series of Swedish reads.


This is a very well written, well developed crime story. The characters are interesting, human and realistic. The crime story is unpredictable and compelling. Despite the cliche, I truly couldn't put it down. 


I also really enjoyed the foreign space and place of this novel where snow is the dominant feature and colloquial sayings have to be interpreted from an outsiders perspective. 


Book 11
