Well paces and well and sparsely told. Wallander is aging and all too real. But, as often happens, a good start isn'y followe dby a good ending. Too much time on getting to the end. It got more and unneccesarily complicated and if the bad guy had Wallander cornered it would have been good to see him get out of it. And the caotyre couldn't have taken more than a page. Almost a rare detective 4.5. https://www.instagram.com/p/CX6deW1NF7R/ Henning Mankell - One Step Behind: My second to last of the series (although not in order, obviously). Having finished both TV series, I’ll be sad to be completely done. #cursorybookreviews #cursoryreviews very close to 5 star [edit: went back and awarded the full 5 stars. The book rocks. ] . Awesome, intricate police procedural with a breathlessly exciting finale. Love Wallander's character. Pushing 50, overweight, now with diabetes, wracked with self-doubt and even self-loathing, but he is a total badass when he needs to be.
Henning Mankell schleppt diesen knapp fünfzigjährigen diabetes- und herzinfarktgefährdeten Kommissar schon seit neun Büchern mit sich herum und verdient mit ihm ein Vermögen, denn Wallander macht Bestseller. Wallander ist Henning Mankells Mrs. Marple. Doch dieser schwedische Kommissar ist weder komisch noch skurril, sondern mit seinen vielen Fehlern, seinen einfachen Fragen, seinem unspektakulären Draufgängertum, so sympathisch, dass man mit ihm durch dick und dünn gehen will, 600 Seiten und der Rest der Welt bleibt anderswo.

Serie: Inspector Wallander #7
La noche de San Juan, alguien, agazapado tras un matorral, contempla cómo se divierten unos jóvenes... Por esas mismas fechas, ajeno al drama que se fragua, el inspector Kurt Wallander regresa de sus vacaciones, y en agosto, ya metido en la rutina, empieza a acusar un extraño agotamiento que está a punto de costarle la vida en un accidente de tráfico. Cuando acude al médico, se lleva un buen susto al saber el diagnóstico. Para colmo, Svedberg, uno de sus colegas, no aparece a su vuelta de las vacaciones, y una madre presiona a los agentes para que busquen a su hija: hace ya más de un mes, la joven se marchó de viaje con unos amigos de manera imprevista, y todo indica que las postales que han enviado son falsas. Svedberg, que sigue sin dar señales de vida, ¿no estaba investigando esas desapariciones? Wallander no puede ni imaginar las incógnitas que le presentará este caso... ni los sangrientos crímenes que deberá resolver, «y cuanto antes», como le pide el fiscal.
