Will Dean: ‘I don’t like reading violence, but it’s kind of operatic the way SA Cosby writes it’

Living off-grid: Will Dean
British author Will Dean is the award-winning writer of the Tuva Moodyson crime series set in Sweden, where he lives, as well as several standalone thrillers. The first time I met him was at the 2019 Listowel Writers’ Week, and he was a striking presence — ruggedly handsome, bearded, dressed in jeans, boots and a check lumberjack shirt. He wore the sort of muted green jacket hunters wear — full of pockets that I presumed would normally be filled with fishing lures or practical knives outside a book festival setting — that was the perfect fit for the man and where he lives.
It’s the ‘land of the midnight sun’ time where you live right now. What’s it like?
