This book in particular focuses on how he, a small-town Swedish policeman, is faced with the fact that globalization and more porous borders is affecting his everyday practice...and possibly his ethics. I was really iffy on whether or not I would read this one, since it seemed more like a span-the-globe type of mystery, but I stuck with it and was happily rewarded. Even after the story was done I find myself thinking of some of the characters. The White Lioness is book number three in Mankell's series of crime novels Ystad detective featuring Kurt Wallander. Helpful. We love the way this man writes, his descriptions of the weather, the landscapes, the characters; and, his stories - extraordinary! Other books in this series are better.So far it's been my experience that the Kurt Wallander series seems to improve with each successive novel.

There is a 75 character minimum for reviews. It’s 1993 and Nelson Mandela and F.W. 4.0 out of 5 stars One of the best Mankell's.

Maj Sjowall and Per Wahloo, for example, also come from Sweden, and their work is consistently excellent. Uuuughhh... is this really what I want to read in a proper noir/crime novel? The Wallander stories are good mysteries in their own right, but what commends the books is Wallander's struggles to live life as a middle-aged detective whose personal life is always under strain.
Welcome back. Wondering about this adds a humane element I am glad I came to suspect. While I have always felt that Mankell’s minimalist writing style was best suited to the clean and occasionally bleak Scandinavian countries, he uses Wallander to great effect as we watch him try to come to grips with the world’s major political issues as they bring problems to his own front door.Interestingly, as Wallander’s cases become increasingly vast, we get to se more of his inner struggles.

He was best known for his literary character Kurt Wallander.“‎Not having time for a person, not being able to sit in silence together with somebody, that's the same as rejecting them, as being scornful about them.”“Unlike Tania, who was so slim, Rykoff looked as if he'd been given an order to get fat--an order he had been delighted to obey.” Just a moment while we sign you in to your Goodreads account. Pretty Good for Swedish, I think Made for TV, international detective movie

The story starts simply enough with the murder of a real estate agent who finds herself in the wrong place at the wrong time, but it quickly spins into a major international conspiracy involving a plot by die-hard South African whites to assassinate Nelson Mandela, shortly after he was released from prison.I'm only reviewing this one book, but I've read the entire detective series by Henning Mankell, and I am a huge fan.

Writing about real historical figures is dangerous but Mankell does it well. some good writing has gone into this but maybe it would have been better to remove it even further from the novel. It deals with Mandela... hence with world politics. If I wanted to read the Ladies Detective series, I would have joined a book club...Here the world of Swedish detective Kurt Wallander crosses that of South African plotters intent on political murder. I hesitated a long time before reading the third Wallander story. 0 /5000. Buy The White Lioness: Kurt Wallander by Mankell, Henning (ISBN: 9780099571698) from Amazon's Book Store. As the movie progressed, I could not get past the horrible production quality from the sound, to the cheap film transfer.By far the worst Wallander movie ever made (and that probably includes any high school filmclub adaptations of one of his books) Was this review helpful? Reviewers of thrillers usually remain tactfully reticent about plot details.
