Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The sudden blooming of Nordic crime thrillers is comparable with the efflorescence of Swedish tennis players in the Seventies and Eighties.
This latest example of the genre centres on a psychotherapist, Siri Bergman, who lives alone in a log cabin in the countryside outside Stockholm, since her husband died in a diving accident (if it was an accident). A young woman – one of Siri's patients – is found drowned in the nearby lake. Siri is investigated by the police at the same time as she is being stalked by an anonymous psychopath, who could be any one of her patients or even a colleague .... This is a tense, efficient thriller, but I was handicapped in my response by not liking Siri as much as I felt I was supposed to. Some Kind of Peace is not quite Bjorn Borg. Anders Jarryd, maybe.
