Any Kurt Wallender fans out there.  I just read Mankell's newest book and have a question!  Thanks.

I am a fan, but I'm 3 or 4 books behind in the series, so probably can't help you. LOL

Thanks, Cheryl.  I never read books in order so I picked this one up at the library and see it is his latest.  Hope when you catch up, you'll come back to find me. smiley

Which book did you finish reading? I have read several in order, but will have to find my list to be certain which one was the last that I read.

I have  been extremely happy with all his books.

"The Troubled Man" is the newest and seems to be the last!  I really enjoy his books and have seen some shows on PBS, which were fun to watch.

They are all superb, but "Return of the Dancing Master" captures perfectly the eeriness of the region where it is set.  We have traveled through there several times from our summer home farther south in Sweden.  Bill
