Travel Guide
Travel to Gullspång BookTrail style
This debut novel introduces readers to the small village of Gullspång
The detectives in the novel are sent from Stockholm to help the local police find 17 year old Annabelle Roos who has disappeared after a party. Gullspång brings back memories for Charlie as this is the town she escaped from twenty years previously so she has more than a few doubts about returning.
“That Gullspång is one of Sweden’s poorest municipalities”
There’s not much to see and do in this village according to the novel – the atmosphere is one of doom and gloom. Empty streets, few inhabintants and a sense on unease. The sense of claustrophobia and isolation is striking. There’s no resources for the police either – any experts and psychologists need to be brought from Stockholm. When the police search for the village on the web, they just find a small tourist office.
