Tove Alsterdal
Show Notes
On today's episode, we visit Sweden and talk to the author Tove Alsterdal about her book “You Will
Never Be Found” which was published by Harper.
In the small mining town of Malmberget, north of the Arctic Circle, residents and their houses are being
relocated. As the mine that built the town slowly swallows it street by street, building by building, the
memories of the community have collapsed into the huge pit they call “the hole.” Only a few stubborn
souls cling to their homes, refusing to leave. When two workers making their final preparations hear a
sound coming from a basement, they break a cellar window and find a terrified man curled up in a
corner.
In Ådalen, 700 kilometers away, police officer Eira Sjödin is investigating the disappearance of a man
reported missing by his ex-wife. Eira and her colleagues search his apartment, contact his friends and
relatives, and query local hospitals, but the man has vanished without a trace.
Eira knows the pain of loss—she mourns for her mother, whose mind has been stolen by dementia. To
escape her loneliness and her memories, Eira loses herself in a casual affair. But she’s wholly
unprepared when her feelings deepen for GG, who is twenty years her senior–and her boss.
When the diligent GG doesn’t show up for work two days in a row, Eira and her colleagues quickly
realize that something is wrong—their boss has gone missing. In the dramatic second installment of the
High Coast Series, Eira Sjödin finds herself at the mercy of an elusive perpetrator—and of a love she
can no longer deny.
TRIVIA
Last week's question was:
We all know and love Angela Lansbury as Jessica Fletcher is the series Murder She Wrote. Her agent at
the time advised her to accept a role in a sitcom instead of this series but she (wisely) chose this
instead. Who is the other actress producers had chosen for the part?
a. Bea Arthur
b. Victoria Principal
c. Jean Stapleton
d. Goldie Hawn
The answer is c. Jean Stapelton. In 1983, Lansbury was offered two main television roles, one in a
sitcom and the other in a detective drama series, Murder, She Wrote. As she was unable to do both, her
agents advised her to accept the former, although Lansbury chose the latter. Her decision was based on
the appeal of the series' central character, Jessica Fletcher, a retired school teacher from the fictional
town of Cabot Cove, Maine. As portrayed by Lansbury, Fletcher was a successful detective novelist who
also solved murders encountered during her travels. Lansbury described the character as "an American
Miss Marple".
Murder, She Wrote had been created by Peter S. Fischer, Richard Levinson, and William Link, who had
earlier had success with Columbo, and the role of Fletcher had been first offered to Jean Stapleton, who
had declined it
This week's question is:
Which mystery author also writes under the pen name of Tom Johanson?
a. Steig Larson
b. Jo Nesbo
c. Peter Hoeg
d. Gunnar Staalesen
Tune in next week for the answer
