A review by mobyskine
Murder at the Savoy by Maj Sjöwall
4.0
Another day another crime. This was another my favorite. Simple straight forward but engrossing much. From the suspects to the victim himself. I love Åsa Torell in here (I like that she decided to join the police squad after the Stenström incident). One thing about Beck investigation that he loves to involve all his team fairly that I think all characters get their own spotlight, even Broberg the suspect. I was nervous at a point, can't think or making assumptions on how or who the shooter-- quite vague and I wondered how Beck can solve this. And I think Skacke was lovable here compared to previous book, he was clumsy sometimes but was a very interesting character.
The story telling was structured well-- from the shooting scene to investigation to how Beck came into the scene and a lil help from Kollberg. It was actually going around Sweden, back and forth with few witnesses helping out and I like that the authors actually gave this extra colours to these witnesses' character like they were all as important as Beck and the team.
Loving the ending, kind of sentimental and I never realised the motive was actually quite unexpected and so suddenly. Some people really, when they gotta do it, they gotta do it.
