The Ice Princess by Camilla Lackberg is another finely-written mystery by a Swedish writer. Erica Falck has to return to her hometown to take care of business after both of her parents are killed in a car accident. While there, her best friend, Alex, from childhood is murdered. Erica, a writer of biographies, decides she wants to write about her friend and joins up with the local police detective, Patrik Hedstrom, to find out what really happened to Alex. Not as fast-paced as Larsson, but an engaging and enjoyable mystery. ~Patti
