Why a Booktrail?
2000s: The Swedish city of Linköping is small and perfectly formed and so idyllic to visit especially with a Mons Kallentoft under your arm!
Savage Spring (Malin Fors #4)
What you need to know before your trail
Linköping . Spring time. Families are eating and drinking and enjoying themselves in the main square. But then a deafening explosion rips through the air. A bomb has exploded killing two little girls. Their mother is fighting for her life.
Detective Inspector Malin Fors has just attended her own mother’s funeral so she finds it especially difficult to attend this horrific scene. Especially since she now knows of secrets that her mother had been keeping. But that’s not her worry now – as she has to put her own troubles aside if she is to find the sisters’ killer.
Who planted the bomb? What else is at stake here? Just what is behind it all?
Travel Guide
Linköping is a great place for a booktrail as it is small and easy to get around. From the street where Daniel lives to the square where the bomb explodes at the start of the book, the main spots in the novel are based on real places and you can see the city through Malin Fors’ eyes. Well not exactly thank goodness but in a good way!
The other city mentioned in the book is Stockholm and whilst the main action takes place in Linköping, mention has to be made of the Strindberg statue which is referenced and which is located in the Tegnérlunden park in Stockholm.
There’s also a statue of another famous author Astrid Lindgren there too.
Linköping really comes alive here though and the peaceful setting really is nicely at odds with the subject matter.
