>STIEG LARSSON AND JOHAN THEORIN PRIZEWINNERS AGAIN

>

Stieg Larsson’s first book The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo won four prizes at Boucheron including Best British novel. This apparently was because it was published here in the UK by Quercus during the required time frame.

But it gives me a chance to post again a photo of Stieg’s English translator American Steven Murray and his charming wife Tiina Nunnally in a very British setting.

A long way from Indianapolis Echoes From The Dead Johan Theorin’s brilliant novel won the CWA John Creasey [New Blood] Dagger.

Here is my review of Echoes From The Dead at Euro Crime.

My review of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.

I don’t think it requires much expertise to predict more prizes for these two authors with the sequels.
