Who Murdered Mrs. Skrof?

Mika Waltari



"Inspector Palmu, a gruff 60-year-old who works for the Helsinki Police Department, is perhaps Finland’s most loved detective character. In this biting murder mystery, he sets out to solve the murder of Mrs. Skrof, a rich and unpopular widow who is found dead in her Helsinki flat following a gas leak. Although his junior detective, the book’s protagonist, thinks it was an accident, Inspector Palmu is not so sure. His list of suspects includes Kirsti, Mrs. Skrof’s stepdaughter; Kalle, an acrobatic pilot; Kurt, a surrealist painter; and Pastor Mustapää, the charismatic leader of an extreme Protestant sect. Inspector Palmu visits each of his suspects in turn in an attempt to piece together an account of what happened to Mrs. Skrof." ~ from Bonnierrights.fi
