I liked the beginning and up until it turned into a political thriller. Now I like political thrillers but this was sort of tedious and slow. I still give it 3 Stars as it's very readable.

The is a relatively early Kurt Wallander novel, follows The Spies of Riga which I just read (but I read several later ones first). This one is long with a multi-faceted plot and it drags in places but is nevertheless worth reading. A woman is missing after going to out to visit a potential client (she's a realtor) and when the police find a old farm house (possible the one she was going to) it suddenly bursts into flame. They don't take particular notice of a Mercedes that came out of that road

This book started off incredibly strong; however then turned into a political thriller, which just aren't my cup of tea. Still worth the read in the series though.
