Title: More like a half step
Review: Henning Mankell is a dour dark Swedish writer. Inspector Kurt Wallander, aches & pains (mind, body & soul) plods along. This time out Mankell is less than his usual self in my humble, but still so vastly superior to almost everybody else (except New Mexico's Steve Havill) that I'll also reread this one again--like the four others thus far translated into English. One big gaff in mistaken identity prolongs the story so--I guess--that plodding Wallander can get physical. Pretty stupid Cop 101 mistake--inexcusable from almost anybody else.
