Anki Edvinsson is a familiar face to many Swedes from her former career as a television host, journalist and weather forecaster. Edvinsson more or less grew up at a police station, spending her time with her father and his police colleagues. Her older brother also made a career within the police force.
Edvinsson moved from Stockholm to Ume� in the north of Sweden, where her husband grew up, and joined the local news team. Following her dream to become an author, she signed up for a writing course and began writing the crime novel that later became her debut. After eight years in the town and with valuable insights from her years as a reporter, the setting of the book of course became Ume�.
Curious to get to know her characters and explore the causes of crime--what makes a person choose that path? Who becomes a murderer?--she is studying for a bachelor's degree in criminology at Ume� University.
The Snow Angel is her first book to be published in English.
