Fiction. Mystery. HTML:

A body is found at an ATM, the apparent victim a of heart attack. Then two teenage girls are arrested for the brutal murder of a cab driver. The girls confess to the crime, showing no remorse whatsoever. Two open-and-shut cases. At first these two incidents seem to have nothing in common, but as Wallander delves deeper into the mystery of why the girls murdered the cab driver, he begins to unravel a plot much more complicated than he initially suspected. The two cases become one and lead to a conspiracy that stretches far beyond the borders of Sweden.

My first Inspector Wallander book, but not my last. I like this talented, persistent, unwillingly dedicated and utterly flawed detective. I admired the complex plot line which I can't summarise at all, I don't think, without being guilty of a 'spoiler alert'. It really was impossible to follow this story without being gripped, at dead of night, and compelled to read more.It begins conventionally enough with a death at a cash point, and moves smoothly on to two teenage muggers who kill their taxi driver. Two unrelated incidents. Or are they? It'll take you the whole book to find out. ( )

My first Kurt Wallander novel. Had not realized how emotional distressed and socially inept he is. Interesting but not pleasant listen. ( )

Another dense, well-written Wallander novel by Mankell. There are many strings to this story. Too many I think and there was a dead spot in the middle of the book. The ending was good though a little quick. But the epilogue with the daughter was good. It is Bosch like and help with Wallander's continuing evolution. Looking forward to th enext one. ( )
