I am 2,500 km from Toronto and 1,800 km from Vancouver and 1,600 km from Minneapolis, the nearest large American city.Bill Selneshttp://mysteriesandmore.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644690488802388716.post-82938598847349035142011-11-07T07:47:22.350-06:002011-11-07T07:47:22.350-06:00I know Copenhagen qualifies as an urban center, bu...I know Copenhagen qualifies as an urban center, but then it is the only one in this tiny country ;) <br /><br />No, I have never met Adler-Olsen, but I hope I´ll have a chance at some point. I know I should go to some of the major crime conventions, and I intend to try in the future, but they usually clash with my teaching job.Dorte Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14535044092722418173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644690488802388716.post-42889908313689499022011-11-06T23:35:44.800-06:002011-11-06T23:35:44.800-06:00Dorte: Thanks for the comment.

I have personal confirmation from my visit in April of this year.<br /><br />By chance have you met Adler-Olsen?Bill Selneshttp://mysteriesandmore.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644690488802388716.post-7230805837376792392011-11-06T14:23:25.079-06:002011-11-06T14:23:25.079-06:00Major urban centres - oh, I wonder if we really ha...Major urban centres - oh, I wonder if we really have any of those ;) <br /><br />But you are right, of course, that Adler-Olsen is a great author. I have read four of his, and they just get better and better. <br /><br />And coincidentally, he grew up around ten km from my childhood home - very far from anything remotely urban.Dorte Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14535044092722418173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644690488802388716.post-74280837041621489392011-11-06T09:14:51.659-06:002011-11-06T09:14:51.659-06:00Margot: Thanks for the comment.

And I can certainly see why you chose Jussi Adler-Olsen for this year's top pick. I am very much looking forward to more from him. I like your other choices, too; one of the things I like best is the variety in them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
