About this listen

Random House presents the audiobook edition of Sidetracked by Henning Mankell, read by Sean Barrett.

Midsummer approaches, and Wallander prepares for a holiday with the new woman in his life, hopeful that his wayward daughter and his ageing father will cope without him. But his summer is ruined when a girl commits suicide before his eyes, and a former minister of justice is butchered in the first of a series of apparently motiveless murders. Wallander's hunt for the girl's identity and his furious pursuit of a killer who scalps his victims will throw him and those he loves most into mortal danger.

 Crime Fiction International Mystery & Crime Mystery Suspense Thriller & Suspense Fiction Crime Murder

I think the Author is really good at creating many twist and turns The characters are Brough to life with the excellent narration.
The story includes the the personal trial of the investigator and the others in the investigation. So much to enjoy, even though the foreign names are a bit of a challenge for me to remember. I definitely will be checking to buy another by this author
