The Fire Engine That Disappeared
by Maj Sjöwall & Per Wahlöö
Translated by Joan Tate
Dramatised by Katie Hims
The apartment of a suspect being staked out by Gunvald Larsson explodes, killing three people. Arson and murder isn't at first suspected - much to Larsson's fury - but when it becomes clear that the fire was started on purpose, the case hinges on the needle-in-a-haystack chance of finding a man who fits an impossibly vague description who was somewhere in the area around the time of the fire.

Directed by Mary Peate.

I love the pace of these and always drift off to sleep about 20 min before the end. Tho usually not when I'm driving.

[@nickalina]

The Martin Beck plays are excellent.

[@patriciallamas2050]

Thank you so much for sharing!!! 🙏🏻❤️

[@ThinkingOutLoudr]

You are so welcome! Anytime! 😍😘💖💞💕

[@markrossow6303]

Larssen has a great voice -- the sort of unfiltered cigarettes chain smoker's voice that will never be again !

[@erikab5412]

the great Ralph Ineson!

[@Geek37664]

His voice sounds like American comedian Brad Garrett

[@TheNemocharlie]

I enjoy every aspect of these adaptions but especially the production standards and sound design. The fact they are set in Sweden in another era is a bonus...

[@junestanich7888]

Love Gunvald! Reminds me of Warren Clark, very colorful.

[@ropeburnsrussell]

It was great, but I'm totally confused.

[@carrieb9106]

I think this audio adaptation leaves out critical information that appears in the written word. I don't want to say more, because I don't want to spoil it for others who have not listened yet. However, I don't want to leave the impression that I did not enjoy the listen. I did, up until the last part. That's all I'll say. On the whole, I do like the Martin Beck Mystery Series. Thank you for this one! 🚒💨

[@suzp2265]

That's interesting to hear, thank you

[@carrieb9106]

I am listening to this again, much more carefully than the first time. I am getting to know Martin Beck as a man who doesn't show his true feelings. He seems to be in the same mood all the time. I'm reminded - in a way- of Adrian Monk, the tv detective. Not Monk's OCD or comedy. More like Monk's inner angst.
I think Beck is always hurting inside, even when he is in a good mood, and it's sad.
There's a cool analogy of two completely unrelated fire engines in the story.
I was on edge most of the rdra MN atizatiin, but during the "encounter", my heart was beating very fast.
This time around, I was definitely more drawn into the story. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

OmyGod police with no gun….Insane!!!!!
