A review by nachofergie
The Man from Beijing by Henning Mankell

4.0

Perhaps I read too many Wallander books but I think I prefer Mankell's non-Wallander books. (The last non-Wallander novel I read was the The Return of the Dancing Master, which was an excellent read.) Mankell's great a telling stories involving multiple locations (e.g. The White Lioness). Done badly it would be considered pretentious but Mankell pulls it off deftly. Compelling main character in judge Birgitta Roslin and a great plot all in all. Well worth a read.
