A review by macierules
The Man from Beijing by Henning Mankell

3.0

3.75* (Now I would like 1/4 stars) This book is not part of the Hollander series, and no police detective played a starring role - certainly not your typical crime/mystery novel, in fact the genre seemed to switch half way through. One of the best starts to a book that I have ever read - amazing suspense. The political discussions about China, imperialism, etc. in the middle of the book slowed the pace of the mystery down but China fascinates me so this wasn't an issue for me.
