Biography
[edit]Sarenbrant was born in Stockholm on 4 January 1978. At the age of two her family moved to Narebo in Östergötland.[1] After ending school she moved to Västervik where she studied media in high school.[2] She began her journalism career as a freelance journalist for Veckorevyn, she has since worked for Expressen, Friskispressen and Amelia.[3]
Sarenbrant debuted as an author with the book Vecka 36 in 2010.[4] She is perhaps best known for her series of novels about the police officer Emma Sköld who was introduced in the book Vila i frid. Sarenbrand wanted the lead figure to be a young and ambitious woman, in comparison to the stereotypical image of a police officer as an alcoholic and being depressed. The third book in the series Visning pågår became the best-selling crime novel of 2015, and Tiggaren, the fifth part of the book series became the second best-selling crime novel of 2017 in Sweden.[5]
The book Bakom din rygg which was published in 2017, was the first in a series of three books about three hairdressers in Östermalm.[6] In 2019, the seventh book about Emma Sköld named Skamvrån was published.[7][8]
