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.
