“Blomkvist went through the report once again, looking for something he might have missed. He checked the time of death again, and then the witness reports. The problem was that there were too many loose ends, too many contradictions. He felt a growing unease as he read the same lines over and over. The victim’s body had been found in the boathouse, but no one knew exactly when she had died. The police had established a rough timeline, but it didn’t make sense. He made a mental note to speak with the officer who had taken the statement from the gardener.”
