The Skånska deckarmässan was held for the fourth consecutive year in Lund, Sweden. Around 1000 visitors attended the event, listening to stage talks and buying books. One visitor, Carina Friberg, said she enjoys when it is exciting and you just want more.
On Saturday, it was crowded between the bookshelves at Lund City Library as 35 current crime fiction authors met with visitors. Author Roger von Bonsdorff said it is fun to meet readers and talk with those you write for. Many dedications were managed in a few hours, with visitor Anders Eriksson there to get an author signature in his book, stating he thinks it is important in a crime novel that the villain gets caught.

All authors present were from Skåne or write about Skåne. Author Christina Olséni, who writes with Micke Hansen about Falsterbo among other things, said she thinks even if you write horrible crime novels, there should be humor, excitement of course, and it is also about the characters.
