Camilla Grebe has been awarded the prestigious Glass Key Award 2018 for her critically acclaimed novel Diary from My Disappearance, thus naming the book Best Nordic Crime Novel from 2017. The motivation reads as follows:
“A well-written novel about police officer Malin who returns to her hometown to solve a cold case dating back to the time when she grew up. Two separate narrative voices provide nuance, while the novel at the same time offers a delicate portrayal of odd characters in a desolate area.”
The Glass Key award was established by the Crime Writers of Scandinavia in 1992. One crime novel from each of the Nordic countries makes up the shortlist. The members then choose one winner that receives the prestigious award, and the title of Best Nordic Crime Novel.
