Camilla Läckberg

Scandinavian Agatha Christie, who looks like a pop star in the photo. A former village girl who made her native village a scene of detective action. A mother of many children, from whose novels one can learn not only about the secrets of forensic science, but also about the secrets of feeding and raising babies. It's all about bestselling author Camilla Lackberg.

Camilla was born in the late summer of 1974. The small homeland of the writer is the fishing village of Fjellbaka, located 3 times farther from the capital of Sweden than from the capital of Norway. The permanent population of the village, whose name is translated as High Coast, never exceeded a thousand people. However, during the warmer months, Fjellbaka turns into a resort and holiday destination for celebrities.

In Lackberg's youth, the Swedish actress Ingrid Bergman, who won three Oscar awards, regularly rested in the village in the village, after whom the central square of Fjellbaki is now named. At the age of 5, the future detective wrote a dark tale about the character of Scandinavian folklore Tomten, and by the age of 12 she had read all the books of Agatha Christie.

The girl's interest in thrillers was fueled by the secret of the Lackberg family - the father's first wife and their joint daughter died under mysterious circumstances. However, Camilla stepped on the throat of her dream of writing, graduated from the School of Business, Economics and Law in Gothenburg and at the beginning of her career worked as a manager in the Stockholm companies Telia and Fortum. Lackburgh's knowledge of marketing techniques came in handy when promoting works in the book market.

Back to her youthful dream, Camille was helped by literary courses on the creation of detective bestsellers. The study certificate was a Christmas present for the manager. In Sweden, as well as in the United States, where writing is treated as a craft that can be taught, such courses are very common.

In Russia, fiction training is also gaining ground, such as the Creative Writing School founded by Maya Kucherskaya in Moscow and the Master of Text courses taught by writer Alexander Mazin and publisher Alexander Prokopovich in St. Petersburg ... During her studies, Lackburgh began writing her debut novel The Ice Princess, which was accepted by the publishing house on the same week in August 2002, when Camilla's first child, Ville's son, was born.

The Lackburg detectives are a bizarre mix of sophisticated murder and the everyday life of Fjellbaki: fishermen and farmers, doctors and teachers. The investigation is simultaneously conducted by the lady writer Erika Falk and the police officer Patrick Hedström, whom the writer marries in the first novel.

The victims and murderers are Erika's relatives, classmates and neighbors. The roots of most crimes lie in the past (especially in an unhappy childhood), and there are many shape-shifters among the heroes. A maniac may be hiding in the body of a humble librarian or the son of a priest, and a skinhead bully may turn out to be a nice guy and loving grandson.

Lackberg does not ignore the problems that are relevant to Europe: the Nazi past and the institution of foster families, the influx of migrants and same-sex families - all this is in the novels of the Swede. From book to book, the number of children grows not only in the Falk-Hedström family, but also among Patrick's colleagues. Even a married couple of lesbians have a child.

Accordingly, in each subsequent novel, more and more pages are devoted to the description of parental burnout, the difficulties of teething and children's whims. Camilla's most popular works in Russia are The Preacher and A Letter from a Mermaid, while the acquaintance of Russian readers with The Phantom Lighthouse and The Taming was overshadowed by insufficient quality translation.

Lackburgh's bibliography is not limited to detective stories. Like Daria Dontsova, Fannie Flagg and Jackie Collins, the writer has published several cookbooks, and the birth of her second son prompted Camilla to create a series of works about the boy Charlie.

Filmography Lackburgh has several tapes, but only the film "Murder by the Sea" ("The Lost Child"), based on the novel "The Iron Cross", is a film adaptation. For the rest of the pictures, Lackberg created original scripts: although Erica and Patrick act in the frame with friends and relatives, the heroes are investigating other crimes, and not described in the books.

In 2011, before the shooting of the film "Shore Rider" from the series about Fjellbak, the alleged director of the tape - the namesake of the Swedish storyteller Daniel Lind Lagerlöf disappeared in the vicinity of the village, famous for the alleged maniacs inhabiting it, which strengthened the gloomy glory of the village. The cinematographer's body has yet to be found.

The personal life of the writer is no less eventful than the plots of the books. Lackberg's first husband and father of her first children - musician Mikke Eriksson - was, along with Camilla's mother and brother, the donor of a certificate for studying at the courses that launched the literary career of the native of Fjellbaki.

The aspiring novelist gave the heroine a name in honor of her husband's surname, and in the afterword to her debut novel, she thanked her husband and mother-in-law for their support while writing the work. However, the glory that flooded Lackburg ruined the writer's first marriage. In 2006, the couple filed for divorce.

The second husband of Camilla was the colleague of the husband of the main character of her detectives. The writer met policeman Martin Melin, the first winner of the Robinson Expedition television project (an analogue of the Russian show The Last Hero) while working on another detective story.

The business relationship grew into love, and in 2009 Camilla and Martin gave birth to their son Charlie, who inspired Lackburgh to create children's books, and in 2010 they got married. After his marriage, Melin began to broadcast "Police School" on television and wrote two police novels, in addition to one previously published. In 2014, the couple announced that they were getting divorced, but remained friends.

Camilla's third husband and father of her daughter Polly - MMA fighter Simon Schöld is 20 years younger than her second husband and 13 years younger than the writer. In 2017, the athlete, nicknamed the Gentleman, made his debut as a writer with the publication of the training manual "Teaching Lazy Worms."

Lackberg assures that Erica and Patrick, unlike the author, will never divorce. Photos of the young husband and four offspring of Camilla were published on the author's Instagram.

In addition to cooking, the Swede is fond of ballroom dancing and in 2012 won the 4th place in the TV dance battle. The writer is a partner of the Hong Kong maternity wear firm Sono Vaso and co-owner of the Sahara Silver jewelry company. Since 2012, Camilla has been involved in fundraising for the Swedish Children's Cancer Foundation.

In 2019, Exmo Publishing House published a Russian translation of Lackberg's new novel The Witch. Mysterious murders take place again in Fjellback and its surroundings.

It seems that it is time for the Scandinavians to paraphrase the quote by Korney Chukovsky and discourage children not from traveling to Africa, but from walking around the Swedish fishing villages.
