Sweden's fictional murder capital a peaceful place

"This is a very peaceful place," says police inspector Charlotte Lindh as families head flock past toward an open-air flea market on a bright Saturday morning. "I am happy I can bring up my children up in Ystad."

At the other end of Stora Ostergatan, the main street through the Southern Swedish port and market town, milling shoppers halt on the main square to applaud parading military bands and Scottish pipers, in town for an annual festival.

The bookshop just off the square, Stortorget, is crowded as are the cafe terraces around it with waiters threading through the tables balancing trays with coffees and pre-lunch drinks.

Just like any small provincial European town in the seasonal sunshine on the first day of a warm weekend?
