The Man Who Smiled
The Man Who Smiled: A Kurt Wallander Mystery | Henning Mankell
4 posts | 14 read | 3 to read
A disillusioned Inspector Kurt Wallander is thrown back into the fray when he becomes both hunter and hunted. Crestfallen, dejected, and spiraling into an alcohol-fuelled depression after killing a man in the line of duty, Inspector Wallander has made up his mind to quit the police force for good. When an old acquaintance, a solicitor, seeks Wallander's help and later turns up dead, Wallander realizes that he was wrong not to listen. Against his better judgment, he returns to work to head what may now have become a double murder case. A rookie female detective has joined the force in his absence, and he adopts the role of mentor to her as they fight to unravel the mystery.

I have never read a crime fiction as grounded as this with the pace and tone of the narrative as close to realism. #mystery #crimefiction

Bad pic, good book. I love reading this series. Not only are they pretty well written, but you feel like you're getting a bit of an insider's tour of Sweden. It is like taking a mini vacation to Scandinavia.

ferskner I'm so jealous! The only donations we get are James Patterson and similar thriller authors, so the book sale is a bit one note. I'd kill for those cozies! 6y
