Hi Jimp, welcome to the group.I discovered Stieg Larsson which was for me the best trilogy of the last decade. I also can highly recommend Jean-Claude Izzo's Marseille trilogy which I would never have read, but fortunately we watched the TV mini series "Fabio Montale" with Alain Delon and that was so riveting that I decided to read the 3 books it's based on.
My favorite post WW II novel is by Irving Wallce, "The 7th Secret": https://www.amazon.com/Seventh-Secret...
Cheers,
Chrissie
Hi and welcome from another Norwegian woman! My name also originates from Tor, the God of Thunder in Norse mythology.If you are into Nordic Noir, my favourite authors are Håkan Nesser and Karin Fossum. I can also recommend Out Stealing Horses by Per Petterson, which in part takes place during WWII. The title is a code used by the Norwegian resistance.

James Patrick, I'm known by all as 'Jimp' - my elder brothers started that (short for JimmyP) and so it was carried over to school and then my adult life. My wife-to-be, when we first met, thought it most funny. Jimp, I find from her, [a Norwegian], in the English dictionary means: scant, slender and I am slender [long-distance runner slender]. A sport I love and love much more as it helped break the ice when I met Tordis (Tor): an angel. Tor she told me means Thor. I'm most fascinated by thriller/suspense - fiction/non-fiction and have always taken an interest in books concerning the modern history of Europe and of late more the second war and the years post those dark times. If anyone has recommendations, I would be most grateful. Happy reading to all.
