This author is on the mark, you feel like it is a real person rather than a novel. Kurt Wallander is not a super hero and makes a lot of mistakes as he bumbles through his personal life, but he is basically a solid sound person that you find yourself rooting for. As someone of a similar age to the detective, and living in New England which seems to be similar to Sweden, it seems so totally realistic. Faceless Killers was a very good read.
I ordered 6 from this series because celebrated UK actor Kenneth Branagh is set to team up with the BBC for the production of a series of three films based on Henning Mankell's best-selling Wallander crime novels. The three 90-minute crime dramas are to be filmed this summer on location in Ystad in southern Sweden, home of fictional detective Kurt Wallander. Mankell's series of books on the life of the enigmatic police inspector have achieved great international success, selling 10 million copies worldwide. Branagh told interviewers, "Wallander is a wonderfully complex and compelling character and I am excited to be playing this fascinatingly flawed but deeply human detective," The films are to be based on the first three novels in the Wallander series: Sidetracked, Firewall and One Step Behind. The books were great. I can't wait to see the shows!Read full review
More involved than the Netflix movie. Makes you think, not spoon fed to you. I plan on reading all his books.

The book is very well written and hard to out down. I really like Wallender.

The book was an OK read, but it did not provide much in the way of excitement or humor. It felt more like an old fashioned murder mystery rather than a good police procedural.
