A few comments and thoughts about crime books set on the mainland of Europe, with titbits about real eurocrime. We hear so much about crime in the USA that many people imagine that Europe is a crime free zone. In crime fiction Europe has become a real challenger to the Americans, but unfortunately real life crime especially in Britain is increasing as well.

REVIEW OF 2010: COUNTRIES
Of the fifty eight books I read in 2010 a total of fifteen were set in Nordic Countries with a hefty nine from Sweden.
Great chart, Norman, and a very impressive global spread of books. It is such an eye-opener, reading books by authors in different countries (usually better than books simply set somewhere else by someone from somewhere else if you see what I mean).

Thanks Maxine. That is how I got the name Uriah Robinson I used it once replying to some people Stieg Larsson would not have liked and blogger never let me change.
