Murder at the Savoy

fullDescription

When Viktor Palmgren, a powerful industrialist, is shot during an after-dinner speech, the repercussions—both on the international money markets and on the residents of the small coastal town of Malmö—are widespread. Chief Inspector Martin Beck is called in to help catch a killer nobody, not even the victim, was able to identify. He begins a systemic search for the friends, enemies, business associates and call girls who may have wanted Palmgren dead. But in the process, he finds to his dismay that he has nothing but contempt for the victim and sympathy for the murderer.

This is the sixth thrilling installment in the Martin Beck detective series from the 1960s, the novels that have inspired all crime fiction written ever since.

1. • premium: False
   • source: Henning Mankell
   • content: "Lively, stylistically taut…Sjöwall and Wahlöö have changed the genre."
2. • premium: True
   • source:
   • content: This Swedish whodunit, first published in 1971, includes a useful introduction that explains the place of the Martin Beck series among police procedurals. Here, Beck is called in when Victor Palmgren, a most unpleasant gangster capitalist, is shot while making a speech at the posh Savoy Hotel in Malmo and falls face down into his mashed potatoes. The killer escapes out a window, but everyone else in the large and varied cast is nicely captured by Tom Weiner's able and often wonderfully witty performance. Especially when he creates dialogue between two characters with utterly different pitches and timbres, you'll be tempted to laugh with pleasure. One cares less about who actually "dunit" than about the characters, which makes audio the perfect way to enjoy this book. B.G. (c) AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
