Originally posted by Torunn 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.
There is a small library in our house which we share and where we leave books instead of throwing away. I found a novel by Roslund & Hellström which I will try.

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

I have received a notification from the library that Nesbo's 'Thirst' is avalable now.
Stees, can you find the Swedish title in your copy of the Mankell book - is it a Wallander story?

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

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.

Yes 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.

In that case I may not try it - I get annoyed with bad dialogues. But I have started reading "Thirst".
