The Man from Beijing

I liked Mankell's writing and ability to build suspense, but he could have trimmed 100 pages from the book and it would've been a tighter story.

This was a recommended author for folks who liked Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. Not sure if I will read him again.

Not quite what I thought it was going to be, but an excellent read nonetheless. You know who the killer is early on, but understanding the “why” and wondering what the killer will do next keeps the pace fast and engaging.
