Today’s Svenska Dagbladet revealed an amazing review for Gabriella Håkansson’s latest novel Aldermann’s Heir (Aldermanns arvinge).

The Book, published by Albert Bonniers, was likened to authors such as Umberto Ecco, Susan Sontag and John Dickson Carr in a review that raised this spectacular story to the skies. According to critic Carl-Johan Malmberg Aldermann’s Heir is

…worth every moment you spend on it. It is epic in its intrigue, meticulous in its details, scholarly witouth being sententious, stylistically a tour de force, well, simply astonishing.

Yesterday, it was announced that the TV-series MORDEN I SANDHAMN (The Sandhamn Murders), based on Viveca Sten’s popular crime series with the same name, was nominated for the Kristallen Awards, in the category best TV-drama. The prestigious Kristallen is a coveted prize similar to America’s Emmy Awards and we could not be happier for Viveca and everybody involved in the production.

The latest review for Simona Ahrnstedt’s novel The Scandalous (De skandalösa) comes from LitteraturMagazinet in Sweden. Emma Kreü writes that Simona represents the type of Romance where humour mixed with classical elements are combined with modern markers. The author thereby removes the traditional gender roles and poor attitude towards women, that are typically seen in the genre, from her own novels and elevates her writing above many other Romance authors. Kreü continues to say that The Scandalous is a novel where

Love, entanglements and passion on several different levels, combined with characters that have both self-distance, humour and maturity, contribute to a successful mix and a fun read. Simply put, Romance for 21st Century readers.
