One Step Behind: A Kurt Wallander Mystery Audiobook

" I love the Kurt Wallander series. "

" Quick moving - didn't want to put it down. "

" My first Wallander and I liked it immensly. Pretty different from a typical detective novel. A bit grim, a bit dark and with a great protagonist. "

" Read this book in Dutch. "

" Kurt Wallander's colleague dies and three young adults go missing. Kurt's on the trail. Good story. The translation is still a little stilted, but the plot is not affected. "

" A really good, suspenseful story. This Wallander was much more a developed character and the storyline was more mature than the first one in the series. "

" I just love Kurt Wallander more and more. "

" Truly a suspenseful tear-jerker and a brutal bloodbath "

" I thought maybe I should write a review in English here. Although I have enjoyed all the Wallendar books, I thought this one was especially good. The plot involving Svedberg was something new and different and added to the story. "

" I haven't read all the Wallander books yet, but so far this one has the most intricate plot (which is saying a lot!). Really fascinating and unexpected turns. "

" A really good mystery with all the action taking place in Sweden and Denmark. Contained none of Mankell's usual rant on the politics of South Africa or the Baltic States. "

" A fellow detective is killed, and along with a real difficult investigation, more is learned about the detective than any of his work colleagues ever knew! "

" another great book. i highly recommend this author and character "

" Detective makes a lot of obvious mistakes. Part of the character development, yet I found the errors quite unbelievable because we have been taught that the lead character is a very intelligent person. Timely commentary about violence in society, and the book was written 15 years ago. "

" He is one of the best Swedish writers.. The crime stories are quite amazing.. "

" I love everything by Mankell...so far. "

" Excellent story and intense writing. You can't stop reading. "

" This is the first Hanning Mankell book I have read. A fun, suspenseful read! Mankell always had me guessing and trying to figure out whodunnit. "

" The Wallender series is top notch. "

" These keep getting better and better, and that seems to be true no matter what order I read them in. "

" Great book, but I remembered certain details from the PBS adaptation. I knew who the bad guy was and how it all came to be, but it's the sign of a good book when you keep reading even when you know what's going to happen. "

" Gripping read. Sent chills down my spine. Wallander is both fallible and brilliant. My favourite Mankell so far. "

" this is one of his best! I love Wallender. What a normal person. "

" An interesting mystery, with good dramatic tension built up as we the reader know more than Wallander does. Despite very few descriptive passages, Mankell manages to bring an incredible sense of place to the story, I felt like I was there with him every step of the way. "

" I went to sleep last night midway through this book feeling way creeped out. So it is effective. Though it did make me wonder why I wanted to feel like that... "

" Thank you, Kathy, for introducing me to Henning Mankell. I'm looking forward to reading many more of his books. "

" A really good mystery with all the action taking place in Sweden and Denmark. Contained none of Mankell's usual rant on the politics of South Africa or the Baltic States. "

" No one combines a sense of dread, Swedish angst and meticulous mystery like Mankell. May he live for years and write write write. To his brilliant and unsung translators-work faster! "

" One of the best. Mass murder, suspense.. I will not say more. I really enjoyed this one. "

" Another enjoyable Kurt Wallender mystery, he's beginning to feel like a friend to me......working hard to do the right thing, understand office politics, keeping his memories of friends and family. "

" One of the best in the Kurt Wallender series. "

" Love those Swedish police inspectors. But how do they handle all that coffee? "

" I liked this mystery better than most of his that I have read. The dialogue and transitional passages not as stilted. Good story. "

" this is one of his best! I love Wallender. What a normal person. "

" A great story about a transvestite serial killer. The police were always one step behind trying to catch her & him. Mankell's character, Kurt Wallender is such an interesting character. Mankell's writing style is real and I really have enjoyed the Wallender mysteries. "
