Short, accessible
and a good read. How nice to read a book by someone who in the introduction
declares she would unashamedly have been
on the side of the Saxons at Hastings! How much use a female academic would
have been in the shield wall is moot, of course.
'The Bat' is the
first Harry Hole book, he's only 32, bless him! Still a raging alcoholic
picking fights though. Set in Australia, where Wallander also visited. Helen and I went up to Nordicana a few weeks ago, a festival of all things Scandinavian. We got far too excited at seeing bit-part actors from Danish political dramas in the flesh. we even attended a cinnamon bun bake-off while we were there. .
