Pickpick

After watching a few episodes of the TV series (both Swedish and British) finally got to read my first Wallander book. Started with this one which is supposed to be book 0 (stories happening before the first book in the series) or 9th published book. I loved all the stories. As the cover blurb from Times Literary Supplement says “they are surprising, small masterpieces“. Soon I'll start the actual first book in the series, Faceless Killers.

There was silence all around. He stepped over the police tape and looked around. If someone wanted to kill a person, this was an excellent location.

I actually pillaged my organized books for this. Wow @Litsy ! #photoadaynov16 #day17 #bookpyramid Mixed genres because I kept to a brown theme. I have a couple of Mankells, too. Not sure if this is one of them.

Here's 2 shelves of my #translatedbooks. Henning Mankell is responsible for about 75% of these😉. I got hooked on Kurt Wallander, then Lisbeth Salander and I couldn't stop buying my Scandinavian police procedurals! Lots of other good books too...The Elegance of the Hedgehog💗 The Shadow of the Wind💗 and The Secret Life of Santa Claus💗
