Key Points
  • The Skåne Crime Fiction Fair held its fourth edition with about 1,000 attendees.
  • The fair featured authors from Skåne or writing about the region, including Roger von Bonsdorff and Christina Olséni.
  • Visitor engagement included many book dedications and signings, such as for attendee Anders Eriksson.

The fair, which has not disclosed its exact dates, marked another successful run with strong attendance. According to official sources, about 1,000 people attended the event, and on Saturday, it was crowded between the bookshelves at Lund City Library. The total number of authors who participated remains unknown, but those present were all from Skåne or write about the region, highlighting a local focus.

Roger von Bonsdorff, a crime fiction author, was among the participants. Another author, Christina Olséni, writes together with Micke Hansen about Falsterbo, among other things. Visitor engagement was high, with many dedications having to be done within a few hours at the fair.

I think the important thing in a crime novel is that the villain gets caught.

Anders Eriksson, Visitor

Anders Eriksson was there to get an author's signature in his book. It is unclear whether the fair was free or required an entrance fee, and the specific books or authors that were most popular, as well as the overall economic impact or sales figures, have not been confirmed.
