In The Sandhamn Murders, based on the bestselling mystery novels by Viveca Sten, murder investigation has never looked so good. Sparkling sea, sunny beaches, ferryboat commuting - it's idyllic except for the bodies that keep cropping up. Homemaker and mother of two, Nora Linde (Alexandra Rapaport, The Team, Gåsmamman) never intends to get involved but she often has a connection to the victim or discovers the body or knows the culprit. She also knows police investigator Thomas Andreasson (Jakob Cedergren, Those Who Kill, The Eagle) from their school days and provides tips solid enough to build her credibility. Theirs is a love affair that keeps not happening: they're attracted to each other, but she no sooner separates from her husband than he goes back to his wife. She also explores a relationship with Jonas, a single father with a teenage daughter not too thrilled about her. It's messy, but the viewer can take comfort in the stunning vacation island of Sandhamn. Bicycling, wine, beautiful sunsets no better setting for exploring relationships and solving crimes.
