7. It was Larsson's Millenium Trilogy that got me started on my Scandi-crime novel kick.

I went from Larsson to Nesbø (Norway), to Arnaldur Indriðason (Iceland) - whom I love, love, LOVE! - and on through one series after another by dozens of great authors from Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland, and even Finland. It's been great fun traipsing through Scandinavia for the past several years in the company of all kinds of fascinating fictional detectives, lawyers, journalists, etc.

I don't have time this morning, but one of these days I'll post a thread listing them all.
