Mourning in Malmö

by Torquil MacLeod Narrated by Marguerite Gavin

Overview

Shortly after Inspector Anita Sundström's mother's death, Anita is called to an apartment where an eighty-year-old man with dementia has tried to kill his wife. The case sparks off a renewed interest in the death of her father, who was lost in the 1994 MS Estonia ferry disaster. It's not long before she discovers that she's stumbled into a tangled web of conspiracy theories surrounding the tragedy, and the unstable and violent dawn of a newly independent Estonia.



At the same time, Anita's also involved in an investigation into the murder of a prominent member of Malmö's Pakistani community. When she's sidelined by her nemesis, Alice Zetterberg, she becomes more determined to discover the reasons behind her father's fate. She soon finds herself entering very dangerous waters that sweep her to Tallin, Stockholm, and Oxford in search of answers that will finally give her closure in the seventh of the bestselling series of Anita Sundström crime mysteries.

Editorial Reviews

OCTOBER 2020 - AudioFile

Marguerite Gavin returns to narrate Book 7 in MacLeod’s Inspector Anita Sundstrom series. Gavin portrays Anita and the many Swedish and foreign-born characters in a neutral American accent. She successfully differentiates the characters, male and female, by varying her tempo and inflections. For Anita’s British love interest, Kevin, Gavin uses a rather unconvincing English accent. This police procedural with its overlay of a government cover-up is built on a true event that to this day is shrouded in mystery, the 1994 sinking of the ferry ESTONIA. Listeners will need to suspend disbelief at times to go along with the twists and turns of the investigation. Those new to the series will find enough backstory to understand the relationships.
