Mr Monkey follows in the footsteps of Inspector Wallander


"That's quite a bit of horn blowing, every night"

Mr Monkey outside a florists Mr Monkey looking up at the tower of the Mariakyrka

The florists on Stortorget is a murder scene in The Fifth Woman. They didn't seem to have many flowers when Mr Monkey walked by, but it was a Sunday, and they were shut. Apparently, there's a watchman in the tower of the Maria Kyrka, who blows a horn every 15 minutes between quarter past nine in the evening and one in the morning. There's been a watchman doing this since the seventeenth century, though now he's allowed to use a telephone to call the emergency services. Mr Monkey can't remember the watchman appearing in the Wallander books, which is odd.
