A review by coenobi
The Troubled Man by Henning Mankell
2.0
I'm kind of disappointed that this is where the Wallander series ends. With, in my opinion, the weakest book of them all. It's a weird feeling, when all the side-storylines are way more interesting to me than the main case the characters work on, but it's what happened here. It couldn't grab my attention for a second, the only thing I liked about it is how it connected to Linda, Wallander's daughter.
The whole book felt like Mankell just wanted to release one more book in the series and just made it all up on the go, I'm used to better from him, much better. All the doubts Wallander went through, with him growing old, being lonely, scared of coming down with dementia and/or Alzheimers was so much more interesting and 'fun' to read than the case itself.
