Ah yes! Although I know it under the West German title, “Endstation für Neun”.

Found another pair of paperback lurkers. ‘Coo Killer’ in green Penguin and ‘The Man Who Went Up In Smoke’ by Sjowall & Wahloo.

When I was a kid, the Martin Beck books were so widely read and discussed by the adults around me that I knew the name Per Wahlöö better than Agatha Christie. And I had no idea there was a co-writer. No one mentioned her, ever.

I even read some of them, so you’d think I’d remember her name… but I must have just thought of them as the Per Wahlöö books my family liked so much.

Sjöwall & Wahlöö kick Christie's arse in every way; their characters are three-dimensional and the novels are pricklily political.

There are a number of baffling nymphomaniacs but yes.

‘Baffling Nymphomaniacs’ sounds like the 3rd place group in a uni band comp from 1987.
