I'd already read this in The Pyramid collection of Wallander stories, but bought it for my Kindle as an easy read. It's a neat introduction to Kurt's life as a policeman and his courtship with Mona. It doesn't take long to read. It probably makes more sense if you've read more of the full novels and have more of a sense of Kurt's character, as Mankell playfully refers to things we know about Kurt in middle age through hints in his relationships with Mona, his father and his sister.
