One Step Behind by Henning Mankell

One Step Behind by Henning Mankell, mystery, 408 pages.

The seventh Kurt Wallender mystery features one of those mysterious serial killers who fancies himself the smartest one around, and impossible to catch because he is so much smarter than the police. Three young adults are killed on Midsummers eve, and then the police are more or less teased and taunted with clues. When one of Wallender's colleagues is killed, Sweden's most well-known detective begins to see the connections. The smartest little serial killer in the world thing feels a little overdone, but Mankell's Wallender adds an extra dimension to the whole thing. Check our catalog.
