Has anyone watched Wisting on Prime?

This is an excellent Nordic Noir. Set in Norway, Wisting and his team are tracking a serial killer. Oh, and Carrie Anne Moss.

It's based on a series of very good murder mysteries by Jørn Lier Horst, all available in English translation. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08KJPLC5K?binding=kindle_edition&ref=dbs_dp_rwt_sb_pc_tkin

Which is something I don't quite understand - for countries with low crime rates, the Scandinavians write an awful lot about gory and violent serial murders. Besides Jørn Lier Horst, here are some of my favorite writers: Jo Nesbø, Karin Fossum, Thomas Enger, Kjell Ola Dahl (Norway); Camilla Lackberg and Helene Tursten (Sweden); Jussi Adler-Olsen and Katrine Engberg (Denmark); Antti Tuomainen (Finland); and Ragnar Jonasson, Yrsa Sigurdardottir and Arnaldur Indriðason (Iceland).

I just checked Libby for the John Lier Horst books. They have them ... in Spanish.

about murder after finding dinosaur bones (if I remember correctly... i probably don't!). David Tennant starred in it I think, and it was really good, too!
