Happy Sunday, readers! Welcome back to our final spotlight on Scandinavian crime fiction this year! If youβre new to CBTB, every Sunday this November, Iβve been spotlighting crime fiction from a particular Scandinavian country, and sharing with you a rundown of my personal favorite crime writers from that country. Weβve βtraveledβ (virtually!) to Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Iceland, and today weβre going to be exploring crime fiction from Finland! Of all the Nordic crime fiction traditions, I am the least familiar with Finnish crime fictionβbut Iβm on a mission to change that! As always, in todayβs blog post I will share with you a rundown of the Finnish crime writers whose work Iβve read and loved. But given that Iβm still in the learning-whatβs-out-there phase of exploring crime fiction from Finland, Iβm also going to give you a little sneak peek into another Finnish crime book thatβs on my TBR list. I hope this will be a helpful resource for anyone else who wants to start on their own journey into Finnish crime fiction!
