Cathy's Nordic Crime;

1. The Girl With The Dragon Tatoo by Stieg Larsson

Okay, Wanda. I’ll try this, but if the first book I read has a victim with any body parts cut off, I’m out of here.

Lol. Some can be a little violent.
Try The Keeper of Lost Causes by Jussi Adler-Olsen. His books also have some humor in them.
