  <description><![CDATA[ Henning Mankell gehört zu den bekanntesten Krimischriftstellern in Schweden und mit seinem neuen Roman <em>Die fünfte Frau</em> wird er sich auch in Deutschland einen Namen machen. Jeder Krimiliebhaber, der von einem Thriller mehr erwartet als nur einen spannenden Plot, liegt hier richtig.<p>  Im Jahr 1994 werden in Algerien fünf Frauen von Fundamentalisten ermordet. Vier davon sind französische Nonnen, die fünfte ist eine schwedische Touristin. Ein Jahr später ereignen sich in Schweden eine Reihe grausamer Morde. Die Opfer haben keine Verbindung zueinander. Gemeinsam ist ihnen aber, daß sie sich Frauen gegenüber besonders gewalttätig verhalten hatten.<p>  Kommissar Wallanders Aufgabe ist es, mögliche Zusammenhänge und Motive aufzudecken. Gibt es eine Beziehung zu den Toten in Algerien, und wenn ja, welche?<p>  <em>Die fünfte Frau</em> ist Krimi, Gesellschaftsroman und psychologische Studie -- was will man mehr? <em>--Manuela Haselberger</em></p></p></p>]]></description>

    <![CDATA[A chilling Kurt Wallander mystery from a &quot;major voice in international crime fiction&quot; (<em>Booklist</em>). Inspector Kurt Wallander is at it again. Four nuns and an unidentified fifth woman are found with their throats slit in an Algerian convent. In Sweden, a birdwatcher is skewered to death in a pit of carefully sharpened bamboo poles. How are these deaths connected? Wallander, &quot;the charmingly melancholy Scandinavian of lore and tradition&quot; (Kirkus Reviews), is hot on the trail. In a series that has taken Europe by storm, <em>The Fifth Woman</em> has sold half a million copies in Sweden alone, and has been translated into ten languages. According to the Wall Street Journal, &quot;Mankell joins the worthy ranks of such past masters as Georges Simenon, Nicholas Freeling, and Sweden's own Maj Sjowall and Per Wahloo.&quot;]]>

In fact, I only watched the first one and had no desire to pick up the books.  Then, I watched the Swedish version of Wallander.

The novel is a moody police procedural that includes interesting bits about life and attitudes in Sweden with mention of mercenary soldiers in Africa.

    <![CDATA[A chilling Kurt Wallander mystery from a &quot;major voice in international crime fiction&quot; (<em>Booklist</em>). Inspector Kurt Wallander is at it again. Four nuns and an unidentified fifth woman are found with their throats slit in an Algerian convent. In Sweden, a birdwatcher is skewered to death in a pit of carefully sharpened bamboo poles. How are these deaths connected? Wallander, &quot;the charmingly melancholy Scandinavian of lore and tradition&quot; (Kirkus Reviews), is hot on the trail. In a series that has taken Europe by storm, <em>The Fifth Woman</em> has sold half a million copies in Sweden alone, and has been translated into ten languages. According to the Wall Street Journal, &quot;Mankell joins the worthy ranks of such past masters as Georges Simenon, Nicholas Freeling, and Sweden's own Maj Sjowall and Per Wahloo.&quot;]]>

    <![CDATA[A series of men who seem to have nothing in common are brutally killed--one is impaled, another starved and then strangled. We know more than the police--we know that the killer is a woman and we gradually understand some of her motivation; her much wronged mother was murdered almost by chance in a North African country--but we don't know who she is, or, for a while at least, her motives and principles of selection of her victims. Inspector Wallender finds himself investigating the case--two missing person enquiries that turn into a murder hunt--and finds himself endlessly confused by red herrings and side issues; a set of leads concerning mercenaries in the Congo of the 1960s turn out to have little to do with the case and Wallender has to waste considerable time suppressing an attempt by the far Right to turn the murders into a reason to set up vigilante justice.<em>The Fifth Woman</em> is a stylish police procedural which lets us see not only the leg work of investigation but also the diligence which makes effective murder possible--the killer Wallender is trying to catch is at least as good at her job of murder as he is at his of prevention. --<em>Roz Kaveney</em>]]>

    <![CDATA[A chilling Kurt Wallander mystery from a &quot;major voice in international crime fiction&quot; (<em>Booklist</em>). Inspector Kurt Wallander is at it again. Four nuns and an unidentified fifth woman are found with their throats slit in an Algerian convent. In Sweden, a birdwatcher is skewered to death in a pit of carefully sharpened bamboo poles. How are these deaths connected? Wallander, &quot;the charmingly melancholy Scandinavian of lore and tradition&quot; (Kirkus Reviews), is hot on the trail. In a series that has taken Europe by storm, <em>The Fifth Woman</em> has sold half a million copies in Sweden alone, and has been translated into ten languages. According to the Wall Street Journal, &quot;Mankell joins the worthy ranks of such past masters as Georges Simenon, Nicholas Freeling, and Sweden's own Maj Sjowall and Per Wahloo.&quot;]]>

    <![CDATA[Fifth in the Kurt Wallander series.<br/><br/>In an African convent, four nuns and a unidentified fifth woman are brutally murdered--the death of the unknown woman covered up by the local police.  A year later in Sweden, Inspector Kurt Wallander is baffled and appalled by two murders.  Holger Eriksson, a retired car dealer and bird watcher, is impaled on sharpened bamboo poles in a ditch behind his secluded home, and the body of a missing florist is discovered--strangled and tied to a tree.  The only clues Wallander has to go on are a skull, a diary, and a photo of three men. What ensues is a case that will test Wallander&#8217;s strength and patience, because in order to discover the reason behind these murders, he will also need to uncover the elusive connection between these deaths and the earlier unsolved murder in Africa of the fifth woman.]]>
