Henning Mankell, RIP em All Writers Considered (Outubro 2015)

Críticas

This lacked some of the quiet charm of the first book of the series. Joel is just a bit older and has some preteen gawkiness that is a bit hard to read about. He starts with a plan to make New Year's Resolutions on the day of the first snowfall but then escapes unharmed from a bus accident and decides he must do a good deed for the miracle of not being hurt. This good deed turns into a series of missteps and problems that play up Joel's wonderful imagination but are also painful to read while you watch them go so wrong. I especially found the ending one that was headed for disaster. I'm curious to see where he goes with the series, I like Joel but his becoming a full teenager might be messy,… (mais)

I had no idea Henning Mankell wrote this series of young adult novels and I enjoy this and found it quietly moving. Joel and his father live in a small village in rural Sweden in what I think is the 1950s (I can't recall if this is said). The father is a sailor, now wokring as a lumberjack and Joel's mother has left and Joel and Samuel are trying to make some kind of normal home life for themselves. I loved Joel's voice and his imagination and his questions to his father about what their life in the village means. I'm really looking forward to the next books.… (mais)

Novela Policial
Serie: Inspector Wallander #10 /s6XScfRwj_G4

En 1978, en la localidad de Jonestown (Guyana), murieron todos los seguidores de una secta, liderada por un hombre llamado Jim Jones, en lo que parecía un suicidio colectivo; la noticia dio la vuelta al mundo en las primeras planas de todos los periódicos. En el año 2001, cuando ese terrible suceso ya ha caído en el olvido, Linda, la hija de Kurt Wallander, regresa a Ystad para, en unos días, iniciar su trabajo en la policía. Al tiempo que empiezan las desavenencias con su padre, Linda se integra en la vida cotidiana de Ystad y reanuda sus viejas amistades con dos jóvenes, Anna y Zebran. De pronto, Anna desaparece misteriosamente. Poco después, en los bosques de los alrededores de Ystad, Linda, junto a su padre, hace un descubrimiento aterrador: una cabeza de mujer, degollada, y dos manos unidas, seccionadas; del resto del cuerpo no hay el menor rastro. Y Anna sigue sin aparecer. Es el comienzo de un nuevo y trepidante caso al que se enfrentarán juntos Kurt Wallander y su hija Linda, quien, en el curso de la investigación, conocerá al agente Stefan Lindman (el protagonista de «El retorno del profesor de baile»), que le causará muy buena impresión.… (mais)

This was more of a procedural than I was expecting. There were two separate cases , both of which involved the social and political atmosphere of the country . There is a lot of somewhat gloomy character development of wallander, the detective. Will have to try more, kept my interest, but I like a bit of humor sometimes in my mysteries
