Top Ten Crime Fiction Writers

Anadur Indrisson

Iceland

In his novels, you will meet a detective named Erlandu, who is lonely and has great detective talent. He tried his best to save the failed relationship with his drug-addicted daughter and estranged son, but he still failed. He reads Death and Loneliness when he is sitting alone. His problems come from his childhood. In a snowstorm, his brother disappeared, but Orlando himself survived. However, decades later, he is still looking for his brother's body-and at the same time solving difficult crimes in a country that is extremely vividly portrayed. Perhaps the word "lively" is not used well, because it is full of gloomy, hard life and terrible weather. Wonderful ~!

Haining Mankel

Henning Mankell

Sweden

Read Mankel's other novels, such as Death, Peking Man or A Pair of Italian Shoes, and you will understand what an impressive writer he is and why he can sell 30 million novels. But what made Mankel famous was the creation of Detective Wahlander, and the city of Istanbul, where the scene in the novel is located, has since become a tourist attraction. In addition, he also opened the interest of readers all over the world in Nordic crime novels-with its gloomy style. "I'm not sure that melancholy is the main feature of Swedish or Nordic literature," Mankel once said. But in his 10 detective stories, there are indeed enough melancholy elements.

Fred Vargas

Fred Vargas

France

Vargas is an archaeologist and historian (the translator himself is surprised that she is a lady), and her imaginative characterization can make most top American crime fiction writers feel ashamed. Adam Berg's series is about a modern Paris city announcer. The other found a clue from the blood left by an injured sheep; The third book depicts a poetic detective who is protecting the witness and a broom closet. All the secrets are gradually revealed in a big letter he wrote to his old grandmother. Vargas's novels won many awards.

Sj？ Wall and wall?

Maj Sj？ Walls and Per Wahl?

Sweden

Besides Yindredasen and Mankel, Nordic countries also gave us Stig Larsen, Karin Fossum (a very clever writer) and Jo Nesb? It's so American. In addition to these famous figures, Karin Aft's crime tracking novels also have comparable writers, such as? Keedwardson, kerstin ekman, mariju ngstedt, asa Larsson and h? Kan Nesser. And these people are all from Sj? Wall and wall? It absorbs nutrients there. The couple are radical journalists. After putting the children to bed every night, they sit down and write. They collaborated on 10 detective Martin Baker's novels, which were completed between 1965 and 1975. 1975 Wahl？ Passed away. This series set the tone for the latecomers. This is a detective novel that you must read.

Macruisi

Petros Markaris

No other writer can write a better article about traffic congestion in Greece and even the whole world. Mark Reese is a successful playwright and film writer. He used the traffic jam in Athens to describe the inner chaos of modern Athenians, but he told people more by describing the hectic political and economic life in Athens. His central figure, detective Carlos, was an unruly guy during the Greek military dictatorship. He read the dictionary and joked about racism and immigration-"There are two things I can't stand, namely racism and black people." The detective likes to eat fermented green peppers, and the fermented green peppers made by his wife also appear in the supplementary picture at the end of a novel "Public Relations".

Pierre Ma Genan

Pierre Ma Genan

France

His career as a crime novel writer didn't begin until he was 56 years old, and his creative enthusiasm remained undiminished until he was over 80 years old. He rarely goes out of Provence, France, so the local knowledge and dialects in his works are a test for translators. This may partly explain why some of his books were not published in English until 25 years later. His works have a strange style, and the protagonist Sepfen Monch in the house where he was murdered will remind people of the character Jean de Loleit written by another famous crime novelist, Fred Vargas (as mentioned above). Therefore, his "Private" trilogy must be full of fun for Vargas fans, completely full of fun.

Talban, mt

Manuel Vasques Montalban

Spain

Pip Cavaroz Oz is another delicious detective-the cookbooks of the characters in this book have even been published. Montaban wrote more than a dozen detective stories from 1972 to 2000, and stopped writing three years before his death. Cavaroz, the character he created, has a large number of fans, and Barcelona has a special tourist route famous for his story-Cavaroz knows the dirty side of the city and the best restaurants. Political corruption and justice are the themes that run through all the author's works, and they are also his long discussions on the trend of Spanish culture. The other two novels focus on sports-Offside and Death of the Olympics. Talbanshan is a diehard fan of Barcelona, and he is also a leftist.

Jean-Claude Izzo

Jean-Claude Izzo

His "Marseilles Trilogy" was written in the 1990s, depicting a police detective named Mundell (played by alain delon on the screen). This series shows the city of Marseille through the eyes of detective Mundell. Mundell was born in an immigrant family, but unlike his boyhood friends, he became a policeman. Izzo, whose style is ruthless, is the leader of the genre of black detective novels in the Mediterranean, and Massimo Carlotto (who was jailed for many years on murder charges and later pardoned) is another equivalent. The New York Times called Izzo's book "the local color is so strong that the story itself is almost suffocating." We could have enjoyed more of his works, but he died of lung cancer in 2000 at the age of 54, when he was at the peak of his fame.

Andre mika le

Andrea Camilleri

At the beginning of 1994, Mi Le thinks that he will only write two novels centered on detective Seward. There are 65,438+02 volumes in this series, and 86-year-old Mi Le has become the best-selling and favorite Italian book. Every day he starts his life with a glass of beer. He is a heavy smoker and has many good friends. The character Montabano in the novel is named after the Spanish writer Montabano, who greatly respects his works and political views (as mentioned above). The Sicilian-born detective in his works has obvious similarities with Cavaroz in Talbanshan's works. If you haven't read these stories, look for treasures.

Timothy Williams

Timothy Williams

His nationality is a problem in France, because he was born in Britain (the British are not within the scope of "European" crime novels), but he lived in Italy for many years and later moved to Guadeloupe, a French dependency in Latin America. He has dual nationality and one of his novels is written in French. Trotti, the character he wrote, is very much like the protagonist in the TV series Zen. Although these five series of Comisario Trotti series are not easy to see in the market, reading these stories will bring you joy.
