I'm no specialist in Nordic mysteries, but I did enjoy The Locked Room, and found the character of Martin Beck intriguing—he departs markedly from the typical detective story sleuth, at least in this story. I'd like to read other books in the series. Which would you recommend?

I would start w/ the first book of the series, Roseanna, and proceed w/ the books in order, unless you simply lose enthusiasm. They are dated in some ways but still (so I think) beguiling.

I enjoyed The Laughing Policeman especially. Not locked room, but a good mystery.
