Nordic Noir
Nordic Noir is a genre of crime fiction often from the view of a police officer and always set in Scandinavia or Nordic countries. Steig Larson popularised the style in his book ' The girl with the dragon tattoo'. The book followed the journey of a female gothic police officer. She is an outcast and almost a stranger in the very aligned world of sweden. Nordic Noir is also linked to film and TV. Many tropes of nordic noir include an almost sick sense of humour and a realistic take. Examples of film and TV shows that incorporate this are The bridge, The girl with the dragon tattoo, trapped and Marcella.
