Książka nie jest zła, intryga teoretycznie powinna wciągać, a jednak coś jest nie tak. Mam wrażenie, że może chodzić o tłumaczenie. W tekście jest zbyt dużo następujących po sobie zdań o konstrukcji podmiot – orzeczenie – dopełnienie. Podobnie „Wallander” potrafi powtarzać się w co drugim zdaniu. Z innych książek wiem, że Mankell tak nie pisze.
One Step Behind is the seventh book in the Kurt Wallander series and I can honestly say these books keep getting better and better. This is a 5 star read for me... interesting as I look back on the reviews and ratings I have given over the first six books. I started with 3 stars, worked up to 4, then 4.5 and now 5.
This book is quite dark and grisly and has a superbly crafted plot ultimately centring around one man’s intense hatred to see happiness. It’s an intriguing tale and author, Henning Mankell builds the suspense slowly as the storyline unfolds.
What I truly love about these books is the central character, Wallander. Mankell has delivered a totally believable, totally human protagonist. He makes the mundane, interesting and validates these human elements that actually give me space to embrace my own humanness. The fleeting thoughts that we are privileged to glimpse, the insecurities about health, wellbeing, and the wonderings about people and things somehow give the reader permission to be an ordinary human and actually still be quite extraordinary.

«Raffreddata?» chiese Wallander. «Con questo bel tempo?»

I love melancholy Scandinavian mysteries and this is a good series.
This one was a little sad, dealing with Svedberg's tragic death. His coworker's learned how much they really didn't know about him.
I kept feeling like having read this book already—most likely in German. But I still enjoyed it even if some things felt familiar.
