One Step Behind by Henning Mankell

4.0

---

I liked this but the versions of Wallander escapades available to watch on video or film are good enough to allow me to enjoy and leave time for reading other books. I like the fact that Wallander is so human and completely opposite of so many tough super detectives. He struggles physically and emotionally with a multitude of crosses to bear. I'm sure the entire series is worth the time but the episodes I've streamed on Netflix are good enough for my taste. If they were not available, I'm sure I'd read the entire Wallander series. Top notch entertainment. I like the way Mankell's mysteries start quickly so if you are the type who hates to read 100 pages just for the book to take off, these books are for you.
