Part of my lukewarm reception to this book was the mistake of watching the series first. This book was an episode from the second or third season so it was pretty familiar to me. But Wallander was not a likable character here in the books. Sure, he has his faults on the show, but here he's just a plain jerk who (of course) drinks too much and has driven all his family away.
