Good Friday nominated for Swedish Crime Novel of the Year 2024
The nominees for Swedish Crime Novel of the Year 2024 have been announced this week. Six titles have the chance to be awarded the prestigious award, and among these is Rights & Brands represented Good Friday written by Carina Bergfeldt & Sofie Sarenbrant.
The award bestowed by BookBeat and the Crimetime Festival is entirely data-driven and looks only at the streaming records of the nominated titles. The winner of the award will be presented on the 28th of September 2024 at the popular crime novel festival Crimetime, which is held during the Gothenburg Bookfair.
Good Friday (Långfredagen, Bookmark Förlag) is the standalone sequel to the bestseller The Birthday by Sofie Sarenbrant and Carina Bergfeldt. This time the popular unputdownable book by the duo is set in a locked TV studio for seven intensive hours as a live talk show turns into a menacing hostage drama. With a focus on driven tension and complex relationships, Sarenbrant and Bergfeldt have created another world-class thriller. Good Friday sold a whopping 50,000 copies in just over two weeks after its release and reached #1 spot on the Swedish bestseller list in May 2024. The book has also been among BookBeat’s top 10 most listened-to audiobooks alongside the author duo’s first book The Birthday.
