[PJMcK]

16. Cop Killer

This book tells the mysterious story about a woman who was murdered and buried in a bog in Sweden and the unraveling tale as the detectives solve her death. It was published in 1975 and I bought it then but never read it! Last week, I started delving into it and it is captivating. The authors, Maj Sjowall and Per Wahloo, paint a fascinating and intricate portrait of Sweden and its people, much of which is quite acidic. I'm glad I finally decided to read it.

You mentioned Preston & Child. Last month, I read The Cabinet of Curiousities. My fiancee urged me to read it as I hadn't read any of the Pendergast novels. That one's pretty chilling, too.

I'm unable to listen to books. I just cannot picture things in my mind when someone else is reading it to me. I know I'm a bit unusual in today's world but I also don't like Kindles and the like. I prefer real books with paper. Plus, they look quite nice in my bookshelves.
