Smart, humane, brooding, somehow both slow and sharp, he is an old and dear friend to me.Reading this, Henning Mankell's latest and final in the Kurt Wallander series, was like finding myself in a well-known and beloved landscape: Kurt Wallanderland. I have no idea. His illnesses and his fear of death. Not bad enough to ruin the experience, but a crutch that HeA good end to an amazing series.

“The Troubled Man” is not only badly written, it’s a very disappointing conclusion to the Wallander series. When bestselling author Erik Larson moved to New York City in 2014, he experienced what he now describes as an eerie, “almost epiphanic moment.” Du...The much-anticipated return of Henning Mankell’s brilliant, brooding detective, Kurt Wallander.The much-anticipated return of Henning Mankell’s brilliant, brooding detective, Kurt Wallander. Especially the beginning. But it's still heartbreaking that the wonderful series is done; never again to be in my "to-read" pile. Why?

Kurt Wallander is a wonderful character. Linda drove me nuts in some parts of this book, but she is her father's daughter.I have read all the Kurt Wallander books in order, and I loved what Henning Mankell did with Kurt in this final book.

I can't understand why Mankell didn't cut it, because it asks for suI won't rehash the plot, others have done a fine job of that. Linda drove me nuts in some parts of this book, but she is her father's daughter.Disappointing end to the series - in my opinion. If I could, I would give THE TROUBLED MAN 3 1/2 stars. Mankell commits the original writer’s sin of telling instead of showing, and does it over and over. I have no idea. But I like that his character has developed and in the course of 10 books and 20 Wallander years, of course the character has changed. Took way too long to get to the really interesting and good part (like 200 pages in long). It's his personality, and I liked that about him. As usual in this series there are pieces of a jigsaw waiting for Wallander to fit together. Wallander is depressed and depressing and the case he is pursuing is not very interesting for his last case...I could barely finish this book as I simply lost interest in Wallander as well as his case. Let us know what’s wrong with this preview of While this book had a very interesting plot, it had many, many holes and it left quite a lot of unexplained things. Gosh darnit. His illnesses and his fear of death. This book pretty much epitomizes this trend, and to boot has so many red herrings that instead of a plot its just a series of plot devices. Actually, it's Linda's motherhood, and Wallander's grandfatherhood, that brings a ray of light into Kurt's life. The commander's interest may have shortened his career.

It's fantastic as a standalone story. There's a stunningly inane, unbelievable, and contrived coincidence a third of the way through the book that ultimately ends up being totally unnecessary. Welcome back. This was a disappointing end to a brilliant series in a genre so capably handled by the gifted Henning Mankell. The baby represents hope, just as Wallander's age (and theKurt Wallander has just turned sixty and isn't taking it well. No person is without a shadow.”“You forget what you want to remember and remember what you would prefer to forget.” Whenever Wallander has a gap in his knowledge, rather than come up with a clever and interesting way for the detective to find out what he needs to know, Mankell creates instant expository characters to conveniently give Wallander answers and then leave the stage, never to be seen again in the novel (ie, Wallander knows nothing about East Germany, so he creates an East German defector Wallander once knew that can give him a detailed lecture on the specific area of Wallanders interest. Kurt Wallander is a wonderful character. I have no idea. Especially the beginning. As a mystery, this book is a big, and often frustrating, disappointment that comes to a very unsatisfying, clumsy conclusion.

Having read the book I am none the wiser.Halfway through the book, I find it hard to believe how fast this reads, and how hard I find it to put it down. A very, very sad book. Mankell is not a great stylist but he has managed to do something remarkable in his creation of Police Detective Wallander. Too late, Wallander realises he has never understood or been interested in the wider world, exhibited here, though, as somewhat parallel to his own where the distinctions between good and evil are constantly blurred.

We will never know what truly happened, and Mankell is just going to make us imagine the full story.

I can't understand why Mankell didn't cut it, because it asks for such a massive suspension of disbelief that it ruins the novel. They're all very good, always pushing the boundaries of the mystery genre in order to develop character and explore political issues. Who was the man who visited Signe, and why would he go there? Even readers who are …

Given this as a 59th birthday present I soon found that Wallander had just had his 60th, and was contemplating having well and truly passed middle age and now entering the third and final act of this tragedy we call life.

No one could resist to one's aging and sickness.I should say Good-Bye Kurt, and hope for peaceful retirement life.

But while I liked the mystery of this one, I seriously disliked the ending. My problem with the book is that Henning Mankell was astonishingly lazy with his plotting.
