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.
What about ‘before the frost,
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.
