About this listen

Trying to process a life crisis Gothenburg policeman, Dennis Wilhelmson, decides to take a trip to his quiet childhood island, Smögen.

Dennis is looking forward to enjoying some peaceful days at the small town island, where nothing really ever happens... or so he thought.

Everything changes when the body of a young man is found in the habour basin and an old friend of his is missing without a trace.

Dennis is now involuntarily thrown in to the biggest murder investigation the area has ever seen.

Enter Sandra Haraldsson, a young ambitious and very straight forward police aspirant.

This was definitely not the calm and harmonious summer Dennis had been planning for himself to recover. But can Sandra heal his heart while they take on the investigation?

The Man on the Beach is the first part in the series "The Smögen Murders".

Good story, dreadful translation

Could have been great, but either the translation is machine made or the translator does not speak English. Almost relentlessly "wonder" is used instead of "ask", et al. There are less repetitive but obvious and annoying mistranslations that just make it hard to follow.

The narration is good, but for me, the whining tone, plus the errors on the text and quick changes of characters/time makes the listening exhaustive.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
