Helpful Score: 3
This is an excellent book, however, not for the faint of heart. If you are looking for just an enjoyable read, this is not the book for you. The story is very interesting, and told in a very involving way for the reader. The personal issues faced by Wallander throughout the book are very terrifying and rather bleak. This is my first Kurt Wallander book, and I enjoyed it very much but I would be careful of who I recommended it to!
