Travel Guide
Gothenburg of course and the inside of a hotel room provide the mystery and setting of this novel as well as the more wider landscape of a gloomy weather and atmosphere, empty rooms, murder in one of them, a decrepit and lonely hotel, strange people and introspective detectives. Ironically the title character even has a cold name – Chief Inspector Winter
A very slow plot, pace and very gradual build up of the tension and murder in Sweden’s second city
