The Murder of Halland

Pia Juul

When Halland is found murdered almost right outside his door, his widow, Bess, is of course the prime suspect. She isn’t worried about that, though, but about the daughter she abandoned years ago. As the police investigate, the slightly cantankerous Bess instead follows a trail of her own regrets and misapprehensions.

Atmospheric and haunted by the uncanny, The Murder of Halland is anything but your typical whodunnit. It won Denmark’s most important literary prize, Den Danske Banks Litteraturpris, and its English translation was longlisted for the IMPAC Dublin Prize.

Pia Juul has published five books of poetry, two short story collections and two novels.

Martin Aitken is a translator living in rural Denmark.
