I am in too minds about Mankelly, I read a couple of his novels but I am not a great fan of Wallander. I am a cat lover and the street cat book is definitely one I would like to read. I wonder if it would be suitable for my teenager? He is the biggest cat lover ever. I am in a reading frenzy just now, I have not read as much fiction as last month in years. Love it.
