Puck, fiancé Eji and their friend Crister the policeman are invited to a wedding; inevitably things don't go well. The bride vanishes the eve before her big day while going to inspect her bouquet. She eventually turns up dead, clutching her bouquet. There are plenty of suspects; including her fiancé and her best friend
who Christer has taken a liking to. As the investigation deepens it turns out that she was seen after going to the florists but those who saw her had their own reasons not to tell anybody. As the mystery plays out it looks as if Puck and Eji's relationship might unravel as she has doubts about giving up her studies and he worries that she doesn't love him.
As one might expect there are plenty of suspects and all of them seem to have something to hide; the question is which of them would kill to protect their secret? The viewer will certainly be guessing till the end I'm sure none will be fooled by the 'solution' revealed when a second body is found hanged in the woods. The central mystery was fun and the subplot involving Puck and Eji's upcoming nuptials gave some depth to their characters without distracting from the main story. The cast did a fine job although not speaking Swedish I had to rely on the subtitles to understand what they were saying! Overall this was an enjoyable mystery with none of the darkness that seems to permeate many Scandinavian mystery series and films.
