Admired him in the light of the flotilla, where he was mistreated, but stood up to it.<br /><br />I enjoyed "The Man from Beijing" much; the story, the characters, and it made me think quite a bit for weeks.<br /><br />And Sjowall and Wahloo! What a pleasure to read their books. The only problem is that as one reads another book, there are fewer left to savor. And savor one does with their writing!kathy d.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938060587020568315.post-18068861305744176982011-03-25T10:57:17.257+00:002011-03-25T10:57:17.257+00:00Could you make the death of Wahlöö to be after the...Could you make the death of Wahlöö to be after the last novel instead of the first novel, please?

Have always been a fan of Swedish crime writers, but could never get into Larsson.David Swinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00247387468270327417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938060587020568315.post-51342857895473949222011-03-24T22:44:49.128+00:002011-03-24T22:44:49.128+00:00I'm just starting Faceless Killers and so far ...I'm just starting Faceless Killers and so far it seems interesting.

On TV I prefer the Swedish Walanders but I'm going to have to get my hands on Mankell's prose.
