It was also a little strange having crimes occur which Kurt investigated but within the first 100 pages of the novel are not the focus, as it is on his daughter whose friend has gone missing.However the final half of the book is typical Mankell with all the threads coming together and the pace and page turnability increasing.Linda Wallander does not have her fathers experience and many of his failings, but Mankell does bring his daughter very much to life as she begins her new role as police officer.The most interesting side story of the book is Linda's relationship now back living with her father. As they start to work closely together she finds out more about him and why he did nt spend more time with the family when she was younger. Discovering her father through out this investigation is a pleasure and a pain for Linda. I look forward to many more episodes. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Interesting *by J***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 June 2013* This is clearly the run up to the Troubled Man which is said to be the last in the series. The introduction of his daughter as a leading character put Wallander in a supporting/paralell role. A good book albeit a bit different from the others in the series. It doesn't have the same level of Wallander angst as earlier books and has less repartition than the Pyramid which is a collection of early cases building to the Faceless Killers.I am determined to finish the series but am disappointed that the later books seem to be loosing their edge.Since writing this in late June 2013 I have finished the Troubled Man which is the last of the series as the review comments on the book say.I feel I need to retract my comments on the "loosing his edge" at least for the last book. The Troubled Man is an excellent read and I really do reccommend reading the series in order to what is a distrurbing and really good climax to the DCI Kurt Wallander stories. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ In this classic Wallander tale the late great Henning Mankell pits his weary detective against sinister corporate ... *by A***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 February 2016* In this classic Wallander tale the late great Henning Mankell pits his weary detective against sinister corporate powers. With all the charms and attractions of the series (e.g. local colour, little flashes from Wallander's life, his growing obsession with and bewilderment about Swedish countrylife detriorating etc.) this book kept my attention until the end and left me wanting more.
