As usual a good long book from Mankell, maybe a tad too long. Disappointing for its political content, for its lack of " getting somewhere". At the end we feel that nothing has been proven, nothing has been clarified. We are left with a very disappointing ending (speaking of the novel), and worst, a very disappointing ending ( speaking of Wallender). The author could have ended the series with a more positive note instead of getting fed always the obnoxious political drivel that nothing can be done about it. And Wallender didn't merit this kind of ending. It's just to sad. A very disappointed book, all in all. I just think that for his last novel Wallender could have come on top. What started as a mystery ended up as nothing was gained but much was lost.
