Karolina Schützer
KAROLINA SCHÜTZER (1984) is a Swedish journalist and author. Driven by a life-long love for France, she has both worked and studied in Paris. Following a decade-long career as a television reporter and editor for Sveriges Television, she and her family moved to Uppsala to pursue a more serene lifestyle.
In 2023, Schützer made her literary debut with the critically acclaimed Beneath the Paris Stars, which quickly became a favorite among readers, securing its position as a #1 bestseller. The follow-up novel Snowfall Over Paris was published less than a year later in Sweden by LB Förlag.
Eden of Death, the first installment of Schützer’s new cozy crime series, was published in Sweden by LB Förlag in October 2024.
