" Overall a good mystery. I dove into them because everyone who liked The Dragon Tattoo series said that Wallander was the better series...unfortunately, I read this book first, and it's one of the last ones...that said, the plot was detailed and intriguiging, the characters were a little underdeveloped, but that's to be expected given where it was in the series. I also felt like it was so obvious where the novel was headed in the last 100 pages that I wanted to stop reading to avoid the imminent disaster. In the end though, I'd read more by Mankel... "
