Kurt Wallander stories were never optimistic in any way, but this one is especially dark. The crimes in this book are not as horrifying as they were in some of the previous books, but the state of mind/health of our favourite detective is the real horror of this novel. As much as I like this series I'll be the first to admin that sometimes the investigations drag on for ages without anything remotely interesting happening. It's not like this book is boring, because it's not, it just suffers from some pacing issues in my opinion. It's too slow in few parts and some parts could have been omitted all together. The pace picks up in the last 100 pages and it's a shame the rest of the book is not as good as the ending. Nevertheless, if you are a fan of Wallander you just have to read this one. Kurts internal struggle with his doubts and his health is the strongest point of this book and will make you want to pick up the next chapter in the series.
