A body is found at an ATM, the apparent victim a of heart attack. Then, two teenage girls are arrested for the brutal murder of a cab driver. The girls confess to the crime, showing no remorse whatsoever. Two open-and-shut cases.

At first these two incidents seem to have nothing in common, but as Wallander delves deeper into the mystery of why the girls murdered the cab driver, he begins to unravel a plot much more complicated than he initially suspected. The two cases become one and lead to a conspiracy that stretches far beyond the borders of Sweden.

Enjoyed the setting in Sweden. At least my second or third of his books so I think that makes me a fan.

Great story.

I wish for more and more of Wallander.
I love the Nordic setting.
Don't want to write any more, ok?

A story of challenge mystery accusations broken dreams and foiled plans… and that just the good guys. Well worth the listen. Reader was excellent.
Too marks across the board.

One of the best in the series.

I've read 6 of Mankell's books, I'm a big fan, but this story was disappointing. Meandered all over and tried to tie up loose ends by describing what happened and why in the last chapter. His books are usually much better than this.

Not one of his best books

Unfortunately I'm 2 for 2 in that my last two audiobooks both ended flatly.

I enjoy when police find out what's going on through detective work, not just that they find out randomly, and that seemed to happen often in this read. And while that's probably more accurate in real life, it leaves more to be desired of a book.

Enjoyed until End Fell Flat

This was one of my favorites by Mankell. Narrated by the great Dick Hill who makes me not want to turn it off.

Another Great Story by Mankell

I have one Walkabder left- and am already feeling a loss. But Firewall more than met
my expectations-- tense, moving, worrisome, and- rewarding-- this is Mankell at his best,
and I have learned to love not only the author and the stories-- but-- the narrator-
This was an outstanding listen- WAB

As always, wonderful story and Human insight

A complex story of human conditions and weaknesses against a twenty first century crime ring. Fascinating confrontations.

Reflections

Henning Mankell’s Kurt Wallander series are simply some the best cop/mystery/thriller books I have ever read or listened to.

Another in a great series

Got this one as a freebie and with what sounded like a Fightclub subtheme I figured what the heck. If you like detective crime novels, its not bad. Pretty decent plot twists along the way. I've never listened to any of the other books in the series so I have no frame of reference to those. It does have a bit of one of the subthemes of Fightclub with a dash of period computer hacking.

Not Bad
