SCANDINAVIAN NOIR In Pursuit of a Mystery

Kirsten Potter takes on the voice of the author to narrate this audiobook, which is part memoir and part literary analysis of Scandinavian noir. Potter's easy style makes comprehensible a dizzying amount of detail on authors' names, book titles, and plot summaries. Potter's delivery helps integrate the elements of an interwoven story of one woman's growing fascination with Nordic crime fiction and her ensuing critiques of the most famous names and books in the genre. At the heart of this hybrid project is a love of reading and travel. Listeners will be inspired to do more of both through Potter's expert handling of the dense material. Listeners become engaged in the story behind the stories, both the author's and those she dissects. M.R. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine [Published: NOVEMBER 2020]
