The Locked Room by Maj Sjöwall, Per Wahlöö

4.0

This is one of the later Martin Beck mysteries and an enjoyable one at that. In addition to providing a good mystery/police drama, this book shed light on aspects of Swedish society that had previously not been openly discussed. I liked the dry wit that was woven into the text and will definitely seek out more in this series. Even though the book was originally published in 1973, the text didn't feel dated. A must read for anyone who (like me) is hooked on the current batch of Scandinavian crime writers.
