In rural Sweden, the world’s busiest provincial detective returns as a serial killer is on the loose who scalps and kills his victims with an axe. For a while when reading this I thought it was a copy of plot of a movie I had seen, but then I remembered that the plot from the first episode of the BBC Wallander series, the only episode that I’ve seen from a few years ago before starting the series of novels. Stupid me. Anyway, very engaging and entertaining plot, like all novels in the series you need to suspend your disbelief a bit, but probably the best of the series so far. Although I’m not used to the warm summer setting in this book in place of the usual cold dreary Swedish winter.
