Marianne Cedervall was a Swedish and English teacher for many years, but is now a full-time author. Marianne writes two bestselling cosy crime series, and has sold 900 000 copies in Sweden alone.
Marianne debuted as an author in 2009. In her cosy crime series she crafts an irresistible mystery set in small villages and towns any reader would feel right at home in. Her storytelling draws you in with captivating plots, but it’s the characters that really make her stand out. Marianne treats her readers to a wonderful mix of saga, crime and epic novel, and she often deals with big topics like love, friendship and revenge. Her characters may break the law from time to time, but they always have the moral upper hand. As a reader you are always close to a smile when reading a book by Marianne Cedervall.
When she is not writing, Marianne loves meeting her readers, and travels extensively to libraries and literary events throughout Sweden. She also runs annual writing retreats on the Greek island of Lesvos.
