Faithless
Faithless aims to please any fan of Nordic Noir. K.O. Dahl's trademark dark atmosphere and perplexing characters appear again in his newest to-English translation. While readers may not encounter Dahl's books in order, because they have been translated from Norwegian, they work well as standalone novels and can be read in any order.
Faithless has many of the same elements that I've seen in Kjell's other works, such as dark beguiling female characters, tension charged stakeouts and uncomfortable dinner party scenes. All of these tense elements add to the atmosphere of this Scandinavian story. Faithless is not only an in-depth crime novel but a cultural experience with a hard hitting ending, the perfect read for these increasingly cold days.
