A review by krobart
The Man from Beijing by Henning Mankell
3.0
I thought the motive for the original murders was ridiculous. I also found many of the characters to be one-dimensional. This novel is the second stand-alone I have read by Mankell, but unusually for me (because I often tire of series mysteries), I have preferred the Wallander novels. Both stand-alone novels are set partially in Africa, where Mankell lives part of the year. This novel is an improvement on the other one, which I thought was poorly written and extremely depressing, but it still has major flaws.
