Career

Mårtensson lived for fifteen years in Helsingborg, which also is 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. They divorced in 2005. 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.
