A colleague sends him off to look at a small farm house that seems ideal, but on close inspection turns out be a burial ground of sorts. And so begins an interesting police procedural looking into a 50-year old crime with few clues or living witnesses."An Event in Autumn", one of the last of the Wallander books (written on commission for a Dutch publisher some years ago), is instantly recognizable for its witty, slightly sardonic and grumpy style in the handling of the characters and for its perfect description of the physical context. The reader is in direct contact with the principals and the landscape from page one.This is also another book that pushes Kurt Wallander's daughter, Linda, to the forefront. Here, she has been on the Ystad police force for a while and is a full member of the task force looking into the farm house killing. She is also her father's confidant, roommate and frequent verbal opponent.Finally, "An Event..." comes with a bonus. There is a kind of pithy epilogue by the author that discusses the "birth" of the Wallander character and the much loved series as well as a brief history of Hankell's writing career. It's an interesting look at the thinking of one of the best writers still at work today and a good reason to read this particular story in and of itself. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is not a full length novel!! (Still a good story though but call it what it is!) *by T***T on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 18, 2014* THIS IS NOT A FULL LENGTH NOVEL! Rather, this is an abbreviated story of sorts that has no real depth to it, the plot is thin and the mystery easily solved without any real twists. I'm saying this first as a warning to the reader because the publisher does not advertise it as such. Mankell has a long note in the back of the book explaining all of this and clearly the author does not represent it as a full novel. It was written in The Netherlands some years ago as a promotional story to be given out as a free book to crime readers. All of this aside, it is of course, a well written and interesting work! I greatly enjoyed Mankell's note at back explaining the writing of and end of the Wallander series. I always enjoy insight from an author on his or her writing. The story itself is very interesting (though fairly thin) and I read it with enthusiasm. If you are a fan of Wallander, you must definitely read this story for it is more about Wallander himself. I also find Mankell's note at finish to be intriguing. Just don't think that you're getting a full bodied novel and you won't be disappointed. I wish that this was clearly advertised by the publisher - which is why I just won't give it 5 stars. Call it what it is. If you are new to Kurt Wallander, this is an excellent series written by an incredibly strong author. Check it out. Arguably the best in Scandinavian crime, Mankell's work incorporates crime and mystery with political reflection and insight. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Last one published in a great series *by F***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 5, 2022* Short novella republished. Last of series (not chronologically). Enjoyed it and sad there are no more. Enjoyed them all. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/3423605-an-event-in-autumn-kurt-wallander-mystery-book-12](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/3423605-an-event-in-autumn-kurt-wallander-mystery-book-12) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
