What is happening to the world? A serial killer in Sweden? Kurt Wallander can't catch a break.
My latest Mankell mystery is full of pain and sadness and rumination and - oh yeah - ax murdering, but also family and dating and love. People are dying, but they kind of deserved it but no one should be murdered and back and forth. Wallander is busy trying to save more people from the serial killer, which inadvertently means he keeps putting off calling his foreign lady friend to say "Oh by the way, ax murderer on the loose so we might have to postpone our vacation."
At one point Wallander contemplates having a coworker tell her. Nothing like romantic shenanigans to take the dire away from ritualistic murder.
"People lived to forget, not to remember."
