This is, as with all of the books in this series, another one of these books that I enjoyed so much that I am sorry I have finished. There are things that are alike in all of these books, but the things that are different are locations, the character of murders and their motives, and, the character of the ghosts. The ghosts never make the solution of the mystery easy, but they are helpful. And it is very rare that I figure out who the murderer is ahead of the end.
I have now started Fall of Man in Wilmslow, a Novel of Alan Turing. Lagercrantz (The Girl in the Spider's Web) has started at Alan Turing's death with the police inspector that is investigating his death. It is shocking how much the fact that he was gay seems to rule the investigation, causing the officers to assume he was probably selling secrets to the Russians, etc., because of course someone capable of being gay must be doing all kinds of illegal things.... It was the mindset of the times...
