The Dogs of Riga

By Henning Mankell


This was a Swedish crime recommendation from Susan.


A fascinating mystery that crosses Sweden into Riga, Latvia the crime story explores crime and crime solving in these two distinct cultures and countries. As the lead detective states, he had to look up Latvia on a map when it became apparent that their investigation was moving them in that direction. I am not sure if this is meant as kind of a joke or more of a poignant quip, but Stockholm and Riga are literally right across the baltic sea from one another. 


This was an interesting read and a great follow-up to the last Swedish crime novel!


Book 12
