Mårtensson lived for fifteen years in Helsingborg, which is also the site of most of her fiction, which features a recurring staff of Helsingborg investigators, partly and sympathetically modeled after some actual police, who are also consulted for technical and investigatory details. She began writing after her son had been born, with Bertil Mårtensson. They divorced in 2005.[1]
Most of her crime novels have been successfully translated into German and published by Bertelsmann. She has also published a number of popular short stories, all of this since her book debut in 1999. German titles given in parentheses below.
