 Rating: - Great gap filler!Mankell's The Pyramid was a great read. It helped fill in some "before-hand" gaps to other novels as well as to help better understand Wallander and his work. I thoroughly enjoyed this book....which along with Shadows in the Twilight and Eye of the Leopard complete my collection of all the translated books by Mankell.

The backstory of the books has always been compelling, adding to the richness of the stories and characterizations. Without belaboring the point, Mankell seamlessly enhances his fiction with issues that reach beyond the borders of Swedish jurisdiction. This has always been his strength, making him unique among the ... Read More Rating: - The Young Kurt WallenderThe Pyramid is an excellent group of stories. The first three let you get to know Kurt Wallender as a young man and the last two portray him as a more seasoned police investigator much like the one we know from the full length novels. One can easily see why his social relationships are doomed to failure. He seems to have no gift for relating to a love partner. But as a detective he has no peer. As police procedurals, the stories give alot of insight into the nature of criminal investigation and, more broadly, ... Read More
