I just finished the other one this evening, and unfortunately I have nothing right now unless I can find another one that I have missed reading, among my books.

Originally posted by TorunnI decided to leave this book unread. It was about abuse of children and I can find no thrill in reading about such things.

While waiting for another Jo Nesbo book from the library I picked up one called An Event in Autum by Henning Mankell (a short one (169 pages)
Stees, can you find the Swedish title in your copy of the Mankell book - is it a Wallander story?

Originally posted by TorunnYes and I think it may have originally been titled (in Swedish) Handen but don't hold me to that.

Originally posted by TorunnYes the story does revolve around a hand. I am finding the writing a bit amateurish but that may just be the way it was translated. A lot of the dialogue seems...well...childish.
Thank you. 'Handen' (The hand) was published 2013, it's probably the one. I'll let you read it first and perhaps you will tell me what you think of it.
