"Wonder what this was like in the original language - as it was fantastic in translation. I had seen the Kenneth Brannagh tv series just prior to leaving the UK and was deeply curious about it and was not dissapointed by the book. I would highly recommend it to anyone."
"Mankell and I continue our reader to writer/writer to reader virtual dialogue. I was appreciative that Mankell had made his villain more creditable in the seventh of the Kurt Wallander books. In the eighth, not only is the villain believable, Mankell returns to the type of global theme that made 'The Dogs of Riga' and 'The White Lioness' my two favorites of the series. Now I'll have three favorites, with 'Firewall' taking place in part in Luanda, Angola. It's sad to realize that I'm coming to the end (at present) of this series."
"Didn't think I liked mystery/crime books until I picked up this one by accident! I'm officially addicted to Mankell's writing style detective Wallander."
"Engrossing from page one, and highbrow the whole way. This is a story you truly won't want to put down and never once will you feel you're reading "canned" crime ficiton. The crime happens at the outset, there are no real red herrings; the art is all in the plot. Mankell is gifted, and Book #1 of the Kurt Wallander series will hook you into all 8 titles."
