Kurt Wallander

review 1: This is the last of the Kurt Wallander mysteries. On a winter day in 2008, Håkan von Enke, a retired high-ranking naval officer, vanishes during his daily walk in a forest near Stockholm. The investigation into his disappearance falls under the jurisdiction of the Stockholm police. It has nothing to do with Wallander — officially. But von Enke is his daughter’s future father-in-law. And so, with his inimitable disregard for normal procedure, Wallander is soon interfering in matters that are not his responsibility, making promises he won’t keep, telling lies when it suits him — and getting results. Highly recommended
review 2: The definitive last installment in the Kurt Wallander series by Henning Mankell, finds Kurt gradually descending into alzhiemers... more whilst trying to locate his daughter's future father-inlaw (a former Submarine Commander). The investigation becomes increasing convoluted, deadly and intriguing. Tales of espionage by the Russians, Americans, and the consequences of cold-war alliances add a further air of mystery to the plot.Typical Scandanavian "dark" novel; but interesting all the same.I will have to start at #1 in the franchise now that I have an idea of the end of the series. Is that cheating?? less
