I've picked up a novel from Henning Mankell's Wallander series. About halfway through.
Oh, Sweden pride. 
There are better Swedish novels though, even better crime novels.Well, I'm still really liking it. It's
The Fifth Woman FTR. The case in itself is absolutely thrilling, very emotionally gripping and keeps the right balance between what to tell and what to leave in mystery. I like that it delves into gender issues, and it's done pretty well by having some passage be told from the murderer's perspective. It's paced a bit slowly at times, but I guess that was intentional in order to make it feel more like a real police inquiry. I was pretty disappointed by the social commentary, which really seems to boil down to "everything was better back in the days", but I take it as being Wallander's specific point of view as a grumpy, frustrated, aging cop who hasn't been very successful in his personal life.
If you have recommendations, I'd like to have a look at them.
