Henning Mankell, The Troubled Man

  • 2011
  • | Publisher: Random House Audio

For those of us who have followed Kurt Wallander, Sweden’s most morosely optimistic detective, from the start of his career as an intrigue-busting, assassin hunting, slightly alcoholic mid-size town detective, the final novel in the series is a fitting sendoff. Wallander is now a loving grandfather with a dog and house in the country. However, just as he seems to find his own Ingmar Bergman-esque version of peace (depressive, but the summers are beautiful), his new son-in-law’s father disappears. Of course, Wallander must search for the titular troubled man. As he does, he discovers perhaps his own life will not end so peacefully after all.
