Stockholm Text at BookExpo America

It has been a very interesting BookExpo here in New York – lots of contacts and lots of insights from the Digital Book Conference. Among the reflections is that an e-reader is a surprisingly rare sight, a clear sign that the tablet is taking over as the primary reader for digital books.

Follow Stockholm Text over the next few months to see the results of other reflections!

Thrilling review of Killer's Island by Anna Jansson

This one is worth reading. I got the creeps just by reading the review…

Criminal Element: Fresh Meat

“But the pervasive sense of unsettled anxiety is not all manufactured, for in fact, these residents are each being observed. Anders’s secret smoking habit is watched and judged from eyes inside the hospital. Outside Erika’s artist’s cottage with its charming hammock, she feels the need to turn away when speaking on the phone so neighbor Sara won’t overhear. Linn is tormented by a face she sees peeking through her window and can’t rest while listening for noises of her neighbors in the garden.”

Clare Toohey

Sweden’s most famous obstetrician!

No, she is not the one who helped Princess Estelle to make her entrance to this world, (even though it seems like everything is centered around Estelle today on her baptize day in Stockholm). —Sweden’s most famous gynecologist and obstetrician, Karin Wahlberg, is also a beloved and praised crime author and today Stockholm Text is releasing her very elegant novel Death of a Carpet Dealer. It will probably become a classic!
