Book Review
Sund, Erik Axl (2016). The Crow Girl.
Realizing you like someone can take a matter of minutes, but getting to know them can take years. -Jeanette Kihlberg
Erik Axl Sund is a pseudonym for a new writing pair – Swedish authors Jerker Eriksson and Håkan Axlander Sundquist. The translator, Neil Smith, is equally new to me but his work makes the collaboration even more seamless.
I was brought to Scandinavian writing through the efforts of Stieg Larsson in the Millennium series and then Henning Mankell with his Inspector Wallander books. Then the darker worlds of Ake Edwardson, Karin Fossum, Arnaldur Indridason and Anne Holt opened up. None of them are as disturbing as this work.

Whodunit? Guest columnist Glenn Folkvord explains Norwegians’ obsession with crime fiction – and why the genre is an Easter favourite.
They extend winter, invented modern crime fiction, and celebrate Easter by reading about murder. Who? The Norwegians, of course.
One would think that after a long, dark and bitter winter, Norwegians would welcome spring, sun and the promise of summer.
That is probably true for the cold-challenged, but many Norwegians choose to extend the winter by spending the Easter holiday in their mountain log cabins, armed with mutton, eggs and chocolate wafers.
However, one more ingredient is needed to really get into the spirit. To some it is the highlight of the holiday. Murder. Preferably many of them, safely experienced between two book covers. Between shovelling snow or skiing on it, Easter for Norwegians means wallowing in crime fiction. In Norway, you can’t avoid it that one week of the year.
