About this listen

A British journalist is invited to Malmö to interview an old university friend who is now one of Sweden's leading film directors. When he discovers the director's glamorous film-star wife dead in her apartment, the Skåne County Police are called in to solve the high-profile case.

Among the investigating team is Inspector Anita Sundström, who soon finds the list of suspects growing. As Anita battles to discover the answers amid the antagonism of some of her colleagues, she even begins to think that the person she is becoming attracted to could be the murderer.

Narration spoilt what may have been a good story. Simply could not concentrate as attempts at accents were very bad.

Narration awful

Good story but the narrator should not try to do accents as a Glaswegian her attempts sounds more like bad Geordie

awful narration

The narrator has a lovely, clear voice when reading fact or description. But she absolutely cannot do accents and, as there is a lot of dialogue in the story, these awful attempts were inescapable. I almost stopped listening several times. I was only able to keep going because it got laughable! The editor character swung between Irish, Scottish, Liverpool and Geordie...ish. And the accents for Swedish characters were like a cartoon take-off of an English-speaking person doing an impression of a Swedish person talking English. Painful. Please MG, don't do accents ... and probably gritty crime dramas full stop. And author and Audible...what were you thinking letting narration ruin narrative?!

To the story. I was drawn to it because we visited Malmo and absolutely loved it. The descriptions in the book brought it alive again. The story had lots of twists and turns and connections so it was attention-grabbing in that way. And the characters were clearly drawn. I did think it was a bit unbelievable that an investigator would have dinner with a key suspect during the investigation but.....Would like to listen to more but absolutely won't if narrated by the same woman. I feel like getting the book of what I've just listened to so I can actually hear the story.

I have to say that this was one of the worse books I have listened to on Audible. The accents were truly dreadful.

the storyline was interesting. Unfortunately the narration- specifically the accents let it down and I didn’t enjoy listening to it.

grating accents

Nothing else to write other than there are far more intelligent and Covent authors out there; therefore I would not recommend this book nor will I seek out other novels by the author.

Simplistic dialogue and story line.

The reader's attempts at accents distracted me from the storyline and I got a bit itrritated by it all.

The reader chewed up the accents

Unfortunately I found it impossible to follow the story as the narration was so distractingly poor. If you cannot do accents you are better off not trying. I also feel that you should decide whether you are pronouncing words for an English listener or an American one. The language used is British English so maybe the narrator should have used that as the guide. I will avoid anything with this narrator in future.

Desperately poor narration

I will have to maybe read this in hardcopy, actual physical book form, because the narration so annoyed me that I couldn't listen to this for too long. The phrase "beggars can't be choosers" is a well-known English saying. I had to listen to this particular sentence several times as I am 100% sure she changed the 'e' in beggars to a 'u'.... Surely not!!! Also, the Geordie accent was nothing short of terrible. So I gave up.

Terrible Accents

Although the majority of the book is set in Sweden the author is British and for me this story lacked the idiosyncrasis and style of a Scandinavian thriller. Narration not the best but got use to it over the course of the story. I liked the main character Anita Sundstrom and will give the next novel a listen to see how her character is developed. Good book if you like police procedure without blood and gore.

Slow Burner but worth a listen
