Now you’re making me want to read Mankell too. I hope I like him, but then there’s not much in good writing I don’t like.
I actually wrote about it on my blog – hope you’ll check it out.

Just picked it up based on the interesting cover. Cannot wait for the second one.

All the Swedish thriller protagonist today with stomach ulcer and failed marriages are in some way or another based on Martin Beck. You really should read these novels, in addition to being great crime novels they also give a very thorough image of Planet Sweden in the 60′s and the 70′s, which basicly means less nazis (all right, there are some nazis) and more drugs. And the detecitves are all in their fifties, wondering what happened to the pre-war Europe they knew as children.
