The books set in Finland and Norway show the dark underbelly of these societies. The stark settings enhance the dark mood and fast paced stories that can be violent and gritty. -- Merle Jacob
Though Jo Nesbo's mystery fiction is set in Norway and has more twists than Ken Bruen's work, his gritty, hard-boiled, and atmospheric books also feature nuanced characterization, seedy urban environments, and troubled protagonists who struggle with their own demons while solving disturbingly violent crimes -- Derek Keyser
Scandinavian writers Dahl and Nesbo feature troubled policemen as their detectives. The men are loners who will skirt the legal line to find killers and bring them to justice. The stories are fast paced and violent and filled with complex characters; the books also have a strong sense of place. -- Merle Jacob
Ridpath and Nesbo set their policemen in Scandinavian countries and give their books a strong sense of place. These maverick policemen have troubled personal lives, but they are likable men with a strong sense of justice. The books are fast paced with suspense that never stops. -- Merle Jacob
Gunnar Staalesen and Jo Nesbo write police procedurals set in Norway that feature police detectives who are troubled loners.
