Jag tycker detsamma, Iskällaren och Blomsterkronan är fantastiskt bra deckare (jag gillade inte skulptrisen) men sen blev hon mer av dussinförfattare, även om de senare böckerna inte är direkt dåliga har jag inte läst om nån av dem, men de här två återkommer jag till med jämna mellanrum. Det är något med personerna, stämningen och miljöerna.
