NOTICE!

For some reason I can add sidebars, but not new posts. Please check back later. I have been working on a variety of things including switching my blog soon from this one, which was set up with my now-defunct West Wisconsin Telcom account. I hope to have my new blog through Gmail up soon. I will provide a link and announcement when I've got everything straight. 7/2/11

Recently read: Henning Mankell’s The Man Who Smiled



Here is another work in the Kurt Wallander series by this Swedish author who never fails to keep me up late at night turning pages. The mysterious deaths of a father and son—one considered by the police to be an accident, and the other shot several weeks later—don’t appear to be connected to each other. Wallander has been on sick leave and has finally decided to leave the police force. The son’s visit, followed quickly by his death, bring Wallander back to work. And always in the background is a mysterious businessman whose generosity seems above question and whose smile strikes Wallender as increasingly sinister.
