Before the Frost (Linda Wallander #1) | Henning Mankell

#12booksof2021 #may @Andrew65
Again my 5* rd is not the one I'm picking today and I have gone with an old friend in wallander. I've put off getting to the final in this series because it would feel like leaving behind a character that has kept me entertained for yrs despite how grumpy he was. Then I found this off shoot about Linda , his daughter, and am just sorry that henning mankell couldn't continue this thread. I'll say bye to kurt in 2022.

Cathythoughts I‘m sorry Mankell couldn‘t continue too...I think he was a troubled and very kind man! And, your pet is gorgeous 3y

Very interesting to see wallander from his daughter Linda's perspective and this was a riveting read. Linda ,just about to join the police finds a close friend disappears, no one else seems concerned until other events seem to connect to this girl and her father who survived the Jim Jones massacre. Very tense + it seems a shame that this thread wasn't developed beyond this outing.

Cathythoughts I‘m about to watch this one on Netflix soon .. I like Ken as Wallander, even if I imagined him a few pounds bigger 😁 4y

andrew61 @Cathythoughts I haven't watched any of the series Cathy. I always thought I'd wait until I had read the books and I didn't see Ken as wallander. Definitely one ill try at some point. 4y

andrew61 @MayJasper thanks, much needed groom. 4y

Nute Hey, Barney!🐶💛 4y

Ive loved the wallander series + I kept putting off 'the troubled man' thinking it was the end then realised this Linda wallander bk fits in as bk 9 so I picked it up. So far it is going very well and half way through i am hooked as well as being slightly discombobulated by seeing kurt from another 3rd party view. This however is a dilemma as I'm not sure that revelations about the grumpy hero sit well with my view of him. Anyone read this one?

DrexEdit I thought I had read all the Wallander books as well! Looks like this one is still on my TBR though. I'll have to fix that mistake. :-) 4y

BarbaraBB Ooh Mankell, always good. @Texreader Do I spot here a church similar to the ones you‘ve been posting about? 4y

andrew61 @DrexEdit yes it looks like henning mankell was going to divert to a Linda series and on GR it was down as bk 9. I've had the last bk sat on a shelf for ages and wasn't ready to say goodbye to a great character but while this is a cracking story it reveals character flaws in kurt which I wasn't expecting. Glad to see another fsn 🙂 4y

andrew61 @DrexEdit fan!! 4y

Texreader @BarbaraBB No, not Viking-shiplike enough. 😉 But I Wallander is Swedish so that must be a Swedish church 4y

I am once again on Tennessee, but today I didn't enjoy much of this beautiful area because I feel terrible. I did manage to finish this really disturbing book. 4⭐

My husband is laughing at me because I am in an actual bar, reading on my Kindle app, drinking a beer, jamming to an 80's cover band. #readingisbetterthanpeopleing

#Septembowie #changes @Marchpane @Cinfhen The #changes in the weather are coming. This pic is of last Autumn. Henning Mankell , I have a soft spot for , because he got me back into reading after a very long slump. Plus he is a great writer & leaves a legacy of wonderful books. He led an inspiring life 🙏

Cinfhen Gorgeous photo ~ reminds me why Autumn is so glorious 🍁🍂🍁🍂 7y

Cathythoughts Thanks @TrishB 👍 7y

Peterfox123 Wonderful book. I think I read more crime novels than anything else but no writer, for me, has drawn me into the life of a main protagonist as Mankell with Wallander. So much almost banal reality: the diabetes, the Alzheimer's, all deftly revealed as intricate plots develop. 7y

Peterfox123 ...and, sorry, meant to say what a great picture. I'd like to be walking the dogs there now please. 7y

Marchpane Beautiful 💕 7y

Cathythoughts @Peterfox123 Mankell has affected me too more than any other crime writer. He has a depth to him 💜 7y

writerlibrarian Quite appropriate 👏🏻 7y

#TBRtemptation post! This is the first installment in the Linda Wallander Scandinavian crime series. Swedish, to be more precise. And almost 3.9 GR stars says something. Linda joins forces with her inspector father, Kurt, to find a religious fanatic on a murder spree. Her friend, Anna, has disappeared as well, and they find the two cases may be linked. What they discover is beyond just one man. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎

hlgreenfield I read the first two Kurt Wallander books and really liked them! Need to eventually read the rest. 8y

melbeautyandbooks I read the entire Kirt Wallender series. I was hesitant about this one. I shouldn't have been. It was solid. 8y

bedandabook One of my favourite detective series. Wallander is a wonderfully thoughtful character. 8y

I seriously disliked this book. Linda is an idiot and Kurt isn't that far behind. 😒
