Can you recommend some good dark scandinavian crime novels?

I would also recommend 'Before the Frost' by Henning Mankell. It's a bit different as it focuses on a young girl who has a special gift. The story is set against the backdrop of a small Swedish town and has all the elements of a great crime novel - mystery, drama, and complex characters.

Dark Scandinavian crime novels often have a gloomy atmosphere. The settings are usually cold, like the Nordic winters, which adds to the sense of desolation. For example, in many of Jo Nesbø's novels, the snow - covered landscapes are as much a part of the story as the characters.

I'm not sure if there are many Scandinavian crime novels directly related to penguins. However, Scandinavian crime fiction usually focuses on complex human nature, dark secrets, and intricate plots. Maybe in some really creative and unique novels, there could be a side - story or a symbolic use of penguins, but I can't name a specific one off - hand.
