The Fifth Woman
The Fifth Woman: A Kurt Wallander Mystery | Henning Mankell
In an African convent, four nuns and an unidentified fifth woman are brutally murdered, and the death of the unknown woman is covered up by the local police. A year later in Sweden, Inspector Kurt Wallander is baffled and appalled by two strange murders. Holger Eriksson, a retired car dealer and bird watcher, is impaled on sharpened bamboo poles in a ditch behind his secluded home, while the body of a missing florist is discovered strangled and tied to a tree. The only clues Wallander has to go on are a skull, a diary, and a photo of three men. What ensues is a case that will test Wallander's strength and patience, for in order to solve these murders he will need to uncover their elusive connection to the earlier unsolved murder in Africa of the fifth woman.

It‘s been a while since I read a Nordic Noir, and I enjoyed this! We know from the start who the killer is and parts of the why, then watch the cat and mouse game unfold alongside the rather gruesome deaths. This is my second read from Mankell and I would read more.

Mehso-so

3🌟🌟🌟This was a fairly decent read and crime fiction much in the same style as “Girl w/the Dragon 🐉 Tattoo”(No Surprise There) just not as good of course. It honestly lacked in suspense and got extremely tedious at times whilst it was well written and vivid I just couldn‘t escape the fact that towards the end I literally just couldn‘t wait for it to end😩due to it‘s tedious nature unfortunately😕.

Henning Mankell is one of the #bestintranslation. I was so sad at his death, because of all the Scandinavian crime writers I've read, he's my favorite. #aprilamazingreads

Cathythoughts My favourite too 7y
