Critic reviews
"Intricate plotting, chilling psychological divination, and thrilling police procedural." ( Library Journal)

Mankell writes in a similar style to other Scandinavian authors. However, I am not left feeling the gruesome depravity and evil found in some of the others. He weaves a great story and tucks in all of the threads at the end.
Dick Hill is an excellent narrator.

What did you love best about The Fifth Woman?
The plot. Henning Menkell's plots are complex and rich. I want to ask him "Where do you get your ideas"!Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
Definitely, Who would the killer take next, how would the murder take place, will Wallander be able to stop him or her?Have you listened to any of Dick Hill’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Yes. I have also listened to him read the novels of Ed McBain. He is perfect for those novels. His sometime staccato performance is ideal for McBain's writing. I struggled with his narration on these novels at first. I thought all of his characters sounded like a New Yorkers. Now, I cannot imagine the series without him.Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Yes. I was deeply saddened by something that happens to Wallander regard his Father. No details!!Any additional comments?
Read this novel, but don't start here. Start at the beginning with "Faceless Killers". These novels are among the best police procedural novels I have read. Menkell is a fine writer and these books are better savored in order.Another Moving Chapter in this Wonderful Series
