Publisher's Summary
On a July afternoon, the body of a young woman is dredged from Sweden's beautiful Lake Vättern. Three months later, all that Police Inspector Martin Beck knows is that her name is Roseanna, that she came from Lincoln, Nebraska, and that she could have been strangled by any one of 85 people.
As the melancholic Beck narrows down the list of likely suspects, he is drawn increasingly to the enigma of the victim, a free-spirited traveller with a penchant for the casual sexual encounter, and to the psychopathology of a murderer with a distinctive - indeed, terrifying - sense of propriety.
With its authentically rendered settings, vividly realized characters, and command over the intricately interwoven details of police detection, Roseanna is a masterpiece of suspense and sadness.

Genuine Suspense.
Small detail, narrator perfect when slightly slowed. He draws out the last syllable of his words, which takes a little getting used to.
This is rather a unique crime thriller as very focused on procedure, and "real time" dialogue. This makes the listener almost become part of the investigation. Minimal description of settings and very limited character development but it works.
I found the writing and lack of embellishment to my taste. I haven't read a similar style despite being an avid fan of the genre.
I will certainly continue with the series.
