Roseanna

I´m right now reading this police novel and it´s really good written (also good for my swedish…)

Roseanna (1965)
The dead body of a young woman is fished out of the water of the Gotacanal. Who is she and who killed her. A case for Martin Beck. The mystery becomes even bigger when research shows that no-one has gone missing in the area and that no-one matches the description of the woman…The authors:
Maj Sjöwall was born in 1935. She works as writer and journalist in Sweden. Wahlöö was born in Göteborg in 1926. After finishing his studies in 1946 he worked as a journalist.

Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö met in 1961 while working for magazines published by the same company. They married next year and the carefully planned crime series was created in the evenings, after their children had been put to bed. According to Wahlöö, their interntion was to “use the crime novel as a scalpel cutting open the belly of the ideological pauperized and morally debatable so-called welfare state of the bourgeois type.” Per Wahlöö died in Stockholm on June 23, 1975.
