Review of Luftslottet

Wallander: Luftslottet (2006)
Season 1, Episode 10
8/10
Death of a wealthy pauper
10 December 2009
Warning: Spoilers
Once again the police of Ystad have a murder to investigate; the victim appears to be a man so poor that he eats dog food but it turns out he was far from poor, in fact he'd just withdrawn twenty million Krona from the bank. Initially the culprit seems obvious, he was killed with botulinum, and a doctor with access to Botox had been known to dislike the old man because his dogs fouled the area. Kurt and Stefan are fairly sure he must have done it but Linda isn't so sure. She is proved right when the doctor, his wife and son are the next victims.

Now the team have to try to find a new motive for this murder, the most likely being jealousy as the doctor had just ended an adulterous relationship with a neighbour; however the most obvious motive isn't always the true motive and it looks as though the poisoner may strike again.

Once again the regular actors do a great job, they are supported by guest stars who do a good job as the various suspects and victims. The story managed to provide several people for the viewer to suspect before revealing somebody I had not suspected without seeming unbelievable.
