A 3 and half star book. It's characters and police staff work very well. The story is just ok, but there are no huge issues or coicidences though there's a bit of bullshit. Wallender is scarily similar to Bosch but he has no issues with this department which takes a little gas off the fire. There's quite a bit of self-loathing and fear of change in Sweden that gets a bit repetitive. It's the perfect length-if it was longer I would've been getting tired of the story since it is so minimal.
