The official Swedish bestseller lists for 2017 have just been released, and Lars Kepler’s The Rabbit Hunter can be found at No. 2 on the list for fiction, closely followed by Leif GW Persson’s Can One Die Twice? at No. 5. Anders de la Motte dominates the bestseller lists for audio books and e-books with End of Summer, coming in at No. 1 on both lists. On the e-book list we also find Jo Nesbø’s The Thirst, at No. 4.

Jørn Lier Horst & Hans Jørgen Sandnes’ Detective Agency No. 2 series makes a strong showing on the December 2017 bestseller list for children’s fiction, claiming five of the top 20 spots. Operation Mummy, the latest installment in the series, claims the highest position of the five, coming in at No. 3. It’s followed by a short activity booklet called The Search for the Abominable Snowman at No. 4, and a bit further down on the list comes the Detective’s Handbook, The Search for The Thief’s Thief, and Operation Pirate.

Bobbie Peers also makes a repeat appearance on the list, climbing to No. 5 with William Wenton and the Orbulator Agent, the third William Wenton book.

The Triangle Mystery is the twelfth and last installment in the CLUE series. This time it is the Devil’s Triangle – a triangular area out at sea, not far from the shores of Schooner Cove – that sparks a great new mystery for the CLUE gang to solve. During the past century, the Triangle has become infamous for the suspicious shipwrecks and airplane crashes that occur within it just a bit too often. As sunny May rolls around, two scientists arrive at Schooner Cove to study the phenomenon. Cecilia, Leo, Une, and Une’s dog Egon are meanwhile looking to recover some mysterious images from some suspicious characters. Triangles and patterns aren’t only showing up inside the Devil’s Triangle out at sea, as it would happen.

In The Triangle Mystery, the mystery of the priceless Bolette ring is at last solved as well, concluding the storyline that began in book nine of the CLUE series, The Wolfhound Mystery. The philosophical backdrop of the twelfth and final CLUE book is the teachings of Pythagoras: his famous theorem on right triangles and his belief that “all is number”.
