I'm still finishing up the loaned-to-me paper version of Henning Mankell's The Fifth Woman, about 650 pages. It is a slowing moving thriller and I had trouble staying with it. I think if I had had more time for a length days, I would have really enjoyed the investigation by Swedish Inspector Wallander. It reminds me of the detective stories of Dutch author Baantjer and his books using Amsteram Police Detective-Inspector DeKok and his "side-kick" Vledder.
No, I haven't read Agent to the Stars. I still have Zoe's Tale, After the Coup, and Questions for a Soldier on my TBR pile. I'm going to TRY to not make anymore purchases until after Christmas, so I probably won't get to it until next year. But, it's certainly on my radar.

I really enjoy Mankell's Wallander series. The books are just as much about solving the mystery as they are about how Wallander deals with the things going on in his personal life.
