Lars Kepler is the winner of the 2023 Crime Author of the Year award, bestowed by BookBeat and the Crimetime Festival. The award is based on statistics from the three latest audiobooks by Swedish crime authors during the last 12 months and the winner was announced this weekend during an award ceremony at the Gothenburg Book Fair.
“The fact that Lars Kepler wins Crime Author of the Year once again shows the power of the Joona Linna series, that the readers and listeners can’t get enough of”, says Emelie Hollbox , Senior Content Performance Specialist at BookBeat.
Alexandra and Alexander Ahndoril say:
“We are incredibly happy for this award and want to thank all the listeners who have followed Joona Linna’s journey into the darkness. You have been very brave! And we also want to thank [narrator] Jonas Malmsjö, who is Lars Kepler’s perfect Vergil, the guide through the inferno. ”
