Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Well-paced…a thinking man's thriller.” New York Times Book Review
“Satisfying…[Mankell’s] Sweden—cold, isolated and brimming with disappointment—is as intriguing a landscape as Raymond Chandler’s Los Angeles or Charles Willeford’s Miami.” Wall Street Journal
“Wonderful! Police procedural with personal texture.” Associated Press
“Mankell proves once again that spending time with a glum police inspector in chilly Sweden can be quite thrilling…Mankell’s ambitious endeavor to combine large themes with small-town murder is a notable success.” Publishers Weekly
“Mankell delivers a solid mystery with excellent buildup and dynamic characters, and Dick Hill’s delivery keeps the tension taut through the story. Hill’s gruff voice perfectly brings the downtrodden Wallander to life…Hill should also be commended for his smooth reading of Swedish names and places.” Publishers Weekly audio review
“Resolute Wallander, lonely, unhappy, even at times desperate, is as magnetic as ever.” Kirkus Reviews
