About this listen
Random House presents the audiobook edition of The White Lioness by Henning Mankell, read by Sean Barrett.
In 1992, in peaceful Southern Sweden, Louise Akerblom, an estate agent, pillar of the Methodist church, wife and mother, disappears. There is no explanation and no motive. Inspector Wallander and his team are called in to investigate. As Inspector Wallander is introduced to this missing person's case, he has a gut feeling that the victim will never be found alive, but he has no idea how far he will have to go in search of the killer.
In South Africa, Nelson Mandela has made his long walk to freedom, setting in train the country's painful journey towards the end of Apartheid. Wallander and his colleagues find themselves caught up in a complex web involving renegade members of South Africa's secret service and a former KGB agent, all of whom are set upon halting Mandela's rise to power.
Faced with an increasingly globalised world in which international terrorism knows no national borders, Wallander must prevent a hideous crime that means to dam the tide of history.

Unrealistic and messy plot
Plenty of twists and turns, but mostly for no purpose. Needed a thorough editing. Wallander looks like a complete amateur, and none of the characters really ring true.

Soooo long
This is a very long book, it requires dedication to get through. The story is very interesting but it’s for pure Wallander fans only, as it is meandering and way too complex. Some of the details, such as the character having to empty his bowels into waste paper basket, seem incongruous and most unnecessary. A great candidate for abridgment.
