TV series and books sound good - anyone read or heard of these? - Maxine

The books are good, traditional whodunnits with Varg Veum as the lone - but not too macho - wolf. - Dorte Jakobsen

Are they translated into English do you know, Dorte? - Maxine

According to fantasticfiction.co.uk four of them are. One in 1986, 1993, 2002 and 2009 - which seems odd indeed as he must have written more than a dozen. I think you´d like them, but they are not spectacular in my opinion. I borrow them when I find one in our library, but I am not going to buy the whole series. - Dorte Jakobsen

must check; I only have three on my website in English, and one is "forthcoming." Hmmm... the shows are tempting. - barbara fister

I read part of one some years ago (The Writing on the Wall) but didn't persevere, I wasn't all that keen for some reason. - LauraRoot

4 are/will be out (http://www.eurocrime.co.uk/books...) I've had it on good authority ie the translator that the latest one is the 14th :). - Karen Meek

Thanks for all the info - have checked out the links. The first one chronologically to be translated is available second hand, but does anyone know why Amazon has written (Guides) after the title? I don't understand. See http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp.... How odd, Karen, that the four translated are 2, 5, 11 and 14! - Maxine

Got 2 of the books and a third is on the way. The fourth was only available at £112.95 so decided to give it a miss. - Maxine

It will be interesting to see what you think. You´ll probably like Varg Veum at least. - Dorte Jakobsen

read the first one now. Yes, liked it. Varg means "outlaw". V embarrassing to him. - Maxine
