Books in Order: Introducing Hakan Nesser – The Master of Crime Fiction
Born in Sweden, Hakan Nesser is renowned for his suspenseful crime fiction novels. He started his professional writing career in 1988, though he didn’t commit to writing full-time until a decade later when he left his teaching career. Nesser, originally from Kumla, has lived an interesting life having relocated from Uppsala, Sweden, to New York City, and subsequently London. However, he is globally recognized for his signature creation, the inspector Van Veeteren series.
Unveiling the Unique Writing Style of Nesser
Nesser’s writing style stands out due to his ability to intertwine suspense with intellectual depth. Character development is at the heart of his writing, and he displays this masterfully in his Van Veeteren series. His debut in the Swedish language in 1988 put him on the map in the literary world, but it wasn’t until 2006 that he smashed onto the English scene with an equally impactful novel, Borkmann’s Point.
