Hello, and welcome to the WBZ book Club. I'm Jordan Rich.
I really love the Swedish murder mysteries and the fictional
police officers who have been brought to life to solve mysteries.
There are so many fans of Kurt Wallander. I'm one
of them, and I recently re read the first book
by Henning Mankell called Faceless Killers, where we are introduced
to Kurt Wallander, and what a story it is. A
(00:20):
brutal double murder occurs in a remote Swedish farmhouse. The
husband and wife are bludgeoned in tortured. The wife survives
long enough to utter one word foreign, which could be

the anti immigrant movement growing in Sweden at that time
in the early nineteen nineties. In the book, we meet
Kurt for the first time. His wife and daughter have
(00:41):
basically left him. He's dealing with an irascible father with
early dementia and has to solve a crime before an
angry community erupts. A great character study and a pretty
good mystery too. The first of the Wallander series, Faceless
Killers by Henning Mankel. The Book Club WBZ Boston's news
