The fifth woman - Henning Mankell
You've got to love Kurt Wallander. Mr Misery. Henning Mankell has created my view of the Swede (do Swede's know that they have the same name as a turnip-like vegetable?) He's depressed, lacks communication skills but is basically a very good man! What's not to like? Finding Henning Mankell for me was one of those moments when I realised that I had a whole new set of books I knew I'd enjoy - and in PAPERBACK! Finding a writer you love later in his/her career.... hoohar!!! Sadly have eaten the lot and now await new books.
Should add that Henning's books are very firmly set in southern Sweden. Gave me a view of the landscape. If I can ever afford to go to Sweden I would HAVE to visit some of the town's mentioned.
