Early life and education

Jean Edith Camilla Läckberg was born on 30 August 1974 in Fjällbacka, Bohuslän.

She discovered crime fiction on her father's bookshelf at a young age, and the genre has remained a fascination for her ever since. She wrote her first book at the age of four, a dark story featuring Santa Claus, whose wife gets beaten to death.

After graduating from University of Gothenburg's Gothenburg School of Business, Economics and Law with a degree in economics, she moved to Stockholm, where she worked as an economist before beginning writing fiction seriously.

Career

Novels

In 1999 her parents gave her, as a Christmas present, a writing course called "How to write crime", run by Ordfront. She published her first crime novel, Isprinsessan, in 2003, having started it during the crime writing course. It features the husband-and-wife duo of writer Erica Falck and police detective Patrik Hedström, the first in a series featuring these characters. It was published in English as The Ice Princess in a translation by Steven T. Murray in 2008. Predikanten followed in 2004, translated into English as The Preacher by Murray in 2009; and others followed annually or biannually until the latest (11th in the series), entitled Gökungen, translated into English as The Cuckoo by Ian Giles published in 2024.

In 2011 her children's novel, Super-Charlie, about a baby with superpowers born to ordinary parents, was published. The idea came to her when pregnant with her son Charlie, her third child, and she related stories about the unborn baby. This became the first in a series of books, illustrated by Therese Larsson, with some of them educational.

En bur av guld, translated by Neil Smith as The Golden Cage (Knopf, 2020) and published in the UK and Australia by HarperCollins as The Gilded Cage in 2021, is the first in a new series (Faye's Revenge), with Vingar av silver (literally "Wings of Silver"; translated into English by Ian Giles as Silver Tears) being the second in that series. Described the novel as "a psychological thriller with a feminist plot and a noir vibe", the novel was partly inspired by Fay Weldon's 1983 novel The Life and Loves of a She-Devil. Silver tears was selected by Oprah Daily in 2021 as one of the best books in translation (no. 2 out of 21).

Läckberg has collaborated with Henrik Fexeus on at least three works: Box (2021), Kult (2022), and Mirage (2023).
