Strange Bird

 

Strange Bird by Anna Jansson, 2006
Read in October 2013

A wonderfully suspenseful scientific thriller and murder mystery about a bird flu pandemic creating chaos and panic in Sweden. It was the seventh book in a series about police detective Maria Wern and the first to be translated and published in the US.

There was a good group of well developed characters and a very credible but terrifying story of a pandemic where everybody is getting sick and dying.

I've been reading and enjoying some of the many Scandinavian crime noir novels. I hear this one has been made into a TV series too.
