I finished Mr. Whicher and thought it was brilliant all the way through. Don't keep ignoring Persson on my account. I'm sure he's worth a read. It just wasn't the right time for me. And, yes, there certainly IS an explosion of Swedish and Norwegian mysteries now. It's getting a bit old. I wish we'd have an explosion of something else: Greek or Italian mystery writers, anyone?Emily Bartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13971084813206845680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28169009.post-81923702652628952752012-06-24T23:50:01.424-04:002012-06-24T23:50:01.424-04:00Yaaay for Suspicions of Mr Whicher!

I really enjoyed it, even though it was about a horrific murder - and the murderer is chilling, as is the reason. I won't say more in case you aren't finished it yet. IT was so well written, and I loved the comparison to how detective fiction started around then also, with Wilkie Collins' books, and Charles Dickens. Plus the history of the police force.<br /><br />I haven't read Easy Rawlins yet either. Some day, one day, I will. Did you like The Help? I got if for Christmas, and I still haven't decided if i want to read it or not. I think To Kill a Mockingbird is the best one about race relations, and I have to reread it soon. <br /><br />note how I ignore Persson, I haven't read any yet by him. There is an explosion of Swedish and Norwegian mysteries now, aren't there?Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09095246748581382752noreply@blogger.com
