Please note that I gave this book 1.5 stars, but rounded it up to 2 stars on Goodreads.So I have to say that I was overall very disappointed with this look at Kurt Wallander. I started watching the BBC show and liked the character and stories a lot. Besides the same last night and backstory here and...
This was my introduction to Camilla Läckberg, who at that time was starting to become really popular in the Netherlands.

Τελικά καταλήγω ότι τα επιτυχημένα σκανδιναβικά αστυνομικά μυθιστορήματα (όπως αυτό της Läckberg, όλα του Larsson, και κάποια του Nesbø και του Mankell) μου αρέσουν τόσο πολύ για δυο λόγους: 1.Δημιουργούν μια απίθανη ατμόσφαιρα με πολύ στυλ και 2.Οι χαρακτήρες είναι ζωντανοί, άνθρωποι που προσπαθού...
