The man who smiled/Henning Mankell 325 pgs.Kurt Wallander is ready to retire from the force. This book starts 18 months after the last one. Kurt isn't coping very well with the weight of the knowledge that he killed a man. It was self-defense but this is a Swedish mystery, not a US mystery where people rarely think twice about death (at least in the books). Kurt gets a request from an old friend to look into the car wreck that killed his father. When the friend turns up dead, Kurt decides he must return to work to figure out what has happened. The rest is standard Wallander...I don't say that as a negative, it is always awesome. Looking forward to the next in the series.
