Amazing, although not surprising, that over 1.5 million French viewers tuned in to watch season 1 of Viveca Sten‘s “Meurtres à Sandhamn: La reine de la Baltique“. The books have been doing very well with Les Editions Albin Michel and we are looking forward to seeing more of the series on ARTE.
It was a theatre premier of EN STACKARS LITEN HAJ (A POOR LITTLE SHARK) by Mårten Sandén, illustrations by Per Gustavsson today in Malmö, Sweden. Tickets were sold out and the theatre was full of laughs and applause. Congratulations on a big success, Mårten and Per!

Olle Lönnaeus THE PAYBACK – JOHNNY LILJA’S DILEMMA has received a wonderful review by Stig Larsson, a Swedish well-known author.
“A troubled cop adds real grit.
Masterful crime action by Olle Lönnaeus whets the appetite. Rarely have I felt so excited, so compelled to continue reading.
The subtle and difficult balance between the more trivial, more commonplace parts so to speak, and the parts characterized by unexpected action, is done masterfully. I was so delighted by this book that I will not only wait for the next novel with Johnny Lilja and Eva Ström. I will also place an order for Lönnaeus previous three books.”
