So the first ones are probably more ´Nordic´ than the later, and they are great psychological thrillers.Dorte Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14535044092722418173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725252734697392575.post-45518876078249716072010-05-15T16:27:46.985+01:002010-05-15T16:27:46.985+01:00Is Fossum worth reading?

I know, a stupid question for a crime and mystery lover - and obviously also a fan of Fossum, but for me, who read lots of mysteries but also all other kinds of genres, is it worth it to begin reading her novels?
