Read harder 2023 Task 13: Read an author local to you

I read the Norwegian crime/thriller Armageddon-algoritmen by Petter Fergestad. It's the author's debut novel,he was 78 at the time! The setting is Drammen,where both the author and I live.

Climate crisis,religious fanaticism, mental illness and corruption - this should make a good book. But I was a bit disappointed,thought it was somewhat predictable and I didn't connect with the characters

I read 'Her Body and Other Parties: Stories' by Carmen Maria Machado.
