Third in the Kurt Wallander series.The execution-style murder of a Swedish housewife looks like a simple case even though there is no obvious suspect. But then Wallander learns of a determined stalker, and soon enough, the cops catch up with him. But when his alibi turns out to be airtight, they realize that what seemed a simple crime of passion is actually far more complex—and dangerous. The search for the truth behind the killing eventually uncovers an assassination plot, and Wallander soon finds himself in a tangle with both the secret police and a ruthless foreign agent. Combining compelling insights into the sinister side of modern life with a riveting tale of international intrigue, The White Lioness keeps you on the knife-edge of suspense.

Not even going to rate this one, since I didn't finish. I expect it wasn't bad, but the fact that I put it down, misplaced it, and totally forgot I was reading it until it was time to take it back to the library tells me I just wasn't that in to it.
Something I read gave away too much of the plot..., and the lack of suspense is killing me.I have to avoid all blurbs, GR reviews, wiki entries, amz reviews... total blackout..This one, moreover, looks like it's not Mankell's best, and I mainly started it because I've decided to read whole series, w...
This book started off incredibly strong; however then turned into a political thriller, which just aren't my cup of tea. Still worth the read in the series though.
