The Sybil | Pär Lagerkvist

A mesmerizing parable.

Henning Mankell's detective stories - they're awesome.

Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö - they wrote crime stories in the 70s

Any book by Torgny Lindgren.

Let's not forget Astrid Lindgren. She was one of my favorite authors during childhood. I especially loved the stories about Pippi Longstocking.

A childhood filled with Astrid Lindgren most recently it's been mostly Jan Guillou.
The Arn series is especially good I think.

I love Wallander!

It's ubiquitous but I thought I'd add it anyways - the Stieg Larsson trilogy.

Let the Right One In byJohn Ajvide Lindqvist was a brillaint work. It was not just a vampire story, but about so much more, dealing with contriversial issues, social problems, and sexuality. A bleak and chilling tale which may be the best vampire story since Dracula.

Any book by Selma Lagerlöf.
"The Saga Of Gösta Berling" is one fine example.
She is a Noble Prize winner of rang.

Camilla Läckberg is a Swedish author who has written a series of detective novels (actually, they are more novels than detective stories!). They have been translated into English. I've read the first three and enjoyed them very much. Read them in the correct sequence because some of the stories continue without any explanation of what went before.

What's the name of the series?

Patrik Hedstrom. The first book in the series is The Ice Princess

Seacrow Island is a delightful middle grade read by famous Swedish children’s author Astrid Lindgren. It is presumably set in the 1950s or the 1960s when it was written and takes place on an island in the Stockholm archipelago, off the coast of Sweden, where the Melkerson family go to spend their summer in a ramshackle cottage by the beach and have some adventures. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ here is my review
