The Little Dog Laughed

The next book to venture into my maw is Henning Mankell's Before the Frost. I bought this for my father, who's a fan, and now he's read it--he says it's a cracker--I decided to extract it from under the biscuit tin and have a go.

It's not for the fainthearted; it opens with a man burning some swans to death after luring them to him with food. Ew.

(I also bought him another crime book by a different Scandinavian author, but he didn't like that at all)
