It is with pleasure that we follow jubilant the Commissioner Wallander and his daughter Linda in the new survey. A woman's head was found in a scattered hut Ystad, one of Linda's closest friend disappears without a trace, animals are sacrificed several times, all these events lead our two police closer to human folly. The relationship between father and daughter Wallander are complicated, stormy and sometimes violent. Wallander is more and more tired and irritable. Her daughter is impatient and careless, this causes tensions between them, one has the impression when reading certain passages from being a voyeur spying on the intimacy of two people. If you liked the previous games of Mankell, the latter novel is to discover them. The story, the characters and plot are opaque and elusive like mist covering Skåne so dear to bos hero.
