Thanks, Randi! I know the bookstore has books by Sjowall and Wahloo, but I haven't read any of them yet. Thanks to the Wikipedia page, I now know to start with Roseanna.

Here's what the library's summary link has to say about The Royal Physician's Visit:

The Royal Physician's Visit : A Novel

An international sensation,The Royal Physician's Visit magnificently recasts the dramatic era of Danish history when Johann Friedrich Struensee -- court physician to mad young King Christian -- stepped through an aperture in history and became the holder of absolute power in Denmark. His is a gripping tale of power, sex, love, and the life of the mind, and it is superbly rendered here by one of Sweden's most acclaimed writers. A charismatic German doctor and brilliant intellectual, Struensee used his influence to introduce hundreds of reforms in Denmark in the 1760s. He had a tender and erotic affair with Queen Caroline Mathilde, who was unsatisfied by her unstable, childlike husband. Yet Struensee lacked the subtlety of a skilled politician and the cunning to choose enemies wisely; these flaws proved fatal, and would eventually lead to his tragic demise.

Went to the public library, wanted to take Millenium Part II (Stieg Larsson), gone! Wanted to take a Per Olav Engquist book, gone! Well, I'll have to wait or go to the bigger central library instead of the annex which is near my home but rather small.

Instead I took Robin Hobb, Shaman's crossing.
And also a book about cats (surprising isn't it?). Pretty basic probably, about education, food, behaviour, etc. but I always enjoy looking at the nice pics anyway It was just in front of me, among the newest aquisitions, I could not resist grabbing it!

Finished "The Final Days" now, and really don't know what to think about it. Geez, the bad guy in that book was so evil, so psychopathic! And there was cruelty towards animals, I didn't like that at all! Also, the book had something like an open ending, which is also somewhat annoying. And yet it was written in a way that made it hard to put the book aside.

Tonight, I started "Die Pestärztin" ("The plague doctor") by Ricarda Jordan. Only read the first 10 pages so far, but it seems to be in interesting medieval story.
