    Without giving away an ending, I am quite certain that the Wallender series ends with The Troubled Man.

    An Event in Autumn is copyright 2004.

    I haven’t read the entire series and I have not read it in order but I think Before the Frost (Linda Wallender) comes someplace in front of Troubled Man it is also copyright 2004.

      That one is about his daughter, Linda Wallander. I can’t wait to read it, but she has to get in line. So many good books I’m discovering, but only the best will I read.
