Book 66 The Pyramid** by Henning Mankell

This book is the prequel to the other Kurt Wallander books.   I have read them all.   Mankell is a great mystery writer.

Book 23 and 24 Girl with the Dragon Tattoo* and Girl with ... by Steig Larsson

June 1st - Week 21 just finished. Five weeks of travel went by in a flash and I am still reflecting on all that we saw and did.   Here's what I read on the road and in the following days.

Book 1 was better than I expected action thriller with lots of character development and conflict.  A touch too much of the unbelievable violence and computer magic.  Book 2 was even better than book 1.
