I guess The Girl in the Spider's Web did not sate me on Sweden. It is interesting that Wallander and Blomkvist are both in sorts of midlife crises. Wallander muses about a ferry operator who piloted the ferry over the same route for years and one day decided to change course for the Baltics.

This has been a great read so far. I have never read a Wallander book being introduced to him years ago by Masterpiece Mystery.
