Missing
Author: Karin Alvtegen
In The Grand Hotel, a homeless woman charms a businessman into paying for dinner and a room. When his dead body is discovered the following morning she becomes the prime suspect. When a second person is killed in similar circumstances, Sybilla, having left her comfortable middle class upbringing for the anonymity of the streets, becomes the most wanted person in Sweden. Mi In The Grand Hotel, a homeless woman charms a businessman into paying for dinner and a room. When his dead body is discovered the following morning she becomes the prime suspect. When a second person is killed in similar circumstances, Sybilla, having left her comfortable middle class upbringing for the anonymity of the streets, becomes the most wanted person in Sweden. Missing is a compelling read and a classic thriller that confirms Alvtegen as a crime writer worth comparison with Henning Mankell, but at its core, the book also explores the terrifying isolation for a woman who has rejected the values of her background and intimacy of her family.
