Ingar Frimansson

Inger Frimansson, author and journalist, is considered by critics to be Sweden’s premier author of psychological thrillers. They place her novels in the same class as the best English and American novels in the genre. Inger Frimansson’s writing is characterized by the way she sees the dark and morbid reality behind what seems to be an idyll. Her style is concise and suggestive and she has established herself as one of Sweden’s bestselling thriller writers. Frimansson is the only female writer to be awarded twice with the Swedish Academy of Crime Writers’ Award (for Good Night, My Darling in 1998 and for The Shadow in the Water in 2005, both of which have been published by Caravel Books).
