En dyster man och en arbetsnarkoman. Men han har ett hjärta av guld och har man inte läst någonting om vår älskade Wallander så är det ju ett måste. Nja jo visst jag är ju svensk,såklart jag gillar Mankell, men hoppas många av dina läsare får möjighet att läsa om vår egna underbara Wallander:)<br /><br />Hoppas allt är bra med er alla.

The British did a wonderful job on the series giving it a surreal look and the decorating of the office is very accurate. I watched a show on the making of the Wallander series. Now this last book I have not read and thanks for the order as I never could figure it out. I have also read other books out of this series. Have you read Italian Shoes?

I loved them all and Mankell's characterizations are just wonderful. I also loved the Swedish television series, many of the stories written for television by Mankell. It is these books which have given me such an interest in Sweden and I hope one day to visit Ystad and Skane -- though I think I would prefer a visit in the summer as winter does look very desolate and not nearly so inspiring! <br /><br />I do believe the Kenneth Branagh productions were done in Sweden. I had to laugh when watching them to have the roles played by English actors in English, but the police care role up with Swedish!The Broadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04976467218216864644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271959060195052715.post-18462523187495372142012-04-28T11:50:54.243-07:002012-04-28T11:50:54.243-07:00Ystad, yes and Kurt Wallander books.
