Another favorite mystery writer

Leena Lehtolainen is a Finnish mystery writer, who writes about female cop Maria Kallio. Maria is married and has a little daughter (and a cat), but sometimes glances at other men… I really like the books about Maria Kallio and I’m patiently awaiting the next one. In the last book I read, a while ago, we learned that Maria was pregnant with her second child. Fortunately, these books have been translated into Swedish. I don’t know much Finnish… Actually that’s an understatement. I know less than a dozen words, all told, but that’s another story. Finland is in many ways like Sweden, but in other ways different and it’s those differences that fascinate me.
