Already have been! The Swedish version of the first 2 books are out now and having seen the first I can report it is very true to the book. Hollywood are making their own version now and to be honest I dread what they'll do with it!

I've read all three now. Not a normal chick flick book I would read but have to say I found them all brilliant books. Best books I've read in a long time.

I agree Redlesley, if I hadn't had so many recommendations from friends and family I wouldn't have persevered!

I'm 2/3 through the first one but looking to reading the others also.

I have to say I really enjoyed it! I struggled at first too but was soon gripped.

I have read all three and really enjoyed them- great stories and shame there won't be anymore! The last book was definitely hard work though...very political but enjoyed! Would highly recommend this series if you like crime type books!

I am still battling on - almost half way through now but it does induce sleep.... I suspect some of the flow has been lost in the English translation?

OK I went back to it, read 3 chapters and have now given up. I hate to be beaten by a book but alas this one has got me I just found there was too much info on the characters and the background and no spice whatsoever.....just kept waiting for something to grip me.

True, Claire08. I think it does have an unfortunate beginning.
