I thought I had read all the Wallander books, so finding this gem was a stoke of good fortune. It was wonderful to spend a few hours with my old friend Kurt.

loved it. this book didn't have the pages needed to get bogged down in boring taciturn story jokes. instead it cruised along with a great pace and vibrancy. I liked the relevancy to the treaty of the series and the everyday feeling it had. Nothing word to our, just a good police story.

This was more of a novella. Somewhat dull at points.

Será que me había acostumbrado a los librotes que sentí que este no dio mucho. Bastante sencillo para Wallander pero tampoco horrible.

Neither brilliant nor poor, just a good short story.

R.I.P Mr Mankell and thank you for giving the world Kurt Wallander.
