The Robert Langdon thriller is followed by the feel-good book "Friends at the Nordic Company" by Ruth Kvarnström-Jones, and Bea Uusma's August Award-winning non-fiction book "Vitön" in second and third place respectively.

The Swedish Publishers Association and the Swedish Booksellers Association, which have compiled the list, note that Uusma's book has not been released to streaming services and that sales have therefore only taken place in printed form - in contrast to the two other titles.

19 of the top 20 titles are fiction. If you break down the list by genre, Katarina Wennstam is the author with the most titles on the fiction list.

1. "The Big Secret" by Dan Brown

2. "The Friends at the Nordic Company" by Ruth Kvarnström-Jones

3. "White Island" by Bea Uusma

4. "The Weeping Woman" by Camilla Läckberg

5. "The Border Crosser" by Viveca Sten

6. "The Companion" by Sofie Sarenbrant

7. "Night Thinker" by Kristina Ohlsson

8. "The Phenomenal Women of the Grand Hotel" by Ruth Kvarnström-Jones
