This was a great start to the Wallander series. A fantastic plot with twists and turns throughout, whilst not being too exciting so you can put it down when you need to! Just three slight annoyances: It was slightly confusing when there was suddenly a large shift in time, the grammar isn't the best all the time (but it doesn't make it impossible to read, and there's the odd sentence which doesn't make sense (though it is a translation so it's expected). Apart from that though, a fantastic and engaging read, with great characters you could connect with emotionally.
