So I read "Faceless Killers" back in 2016 and never got back to the Kurt Wallander series. I enjoyed the tv show starring Kenneth Branagh and always meant to try to give the series another go when I got a chance. I dithered between 3 and 4 stars and mostly that's because it seemed this collection ...
When I was going through some of the reviews, it almost seemed like everyone was disappointed by The Man From Beijing, but this was not at all the memory I had about the book. Yes, it is slow paced, and not all the jumps may make a lot of sense, but I still remember it as an interesting story, after...
I had the good fortune of listening to this as an audiobook and I think this helped a lot with the rating I gave it, because although the plot was very interesting, at times it was too intrincated and long. I feel like if I had been just reading the book, I would have found it boring in some points...
Masterful in plot, pace, characters and setting, this is a serious and multi-layered mystery, a study of how some people rise to greatness in danger and under oppression. Inspector Kurt Wallander is a humble hero, given more to mid-life-crisis existential angst than machismo. He’s smart, though, and...
A couple of teenagers disappeared a few months ago on a diving expedition. Only one of the bodies surfaces now. What happened to them and who did it?

Hands down my favorite in the series. This book reminded me of my favorite NN author [a:Karin Fossum|163027|Karin Fossum|http://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1274131378p2/163027.jpg]in regards to the character development, slow release of storyline and nice twist at the end. If #4 in this series is that g...
I think I prefer Jo Nesbø's Harry Hole to Wallander at this point. They're similar (40-ish, hardboiled, jaded, talented detectives, occasionally funny, divorced, father issues, etc.). Wallander is very straightforward but I feel like I don't know him as well after 2 books. I will read another, but f...
Read this while ill - which was great as it kept my interest and the print was very large! But did not resonate with me the way the other books have done. The ghost allows the author to show the players in the drama from the inside - but feels a bit clumsy, perhaps because ghosts do not resonate wit...
