109. Henning Mankell - The Dogs Of Riga

This is a really good book; Mankell is a cut above most thriller writers.

It gathers pace, a bit like a lot of films where more attention is devoted to the opening, and the end is rushed; so pacing could be better. But the beginning is superb.

Still can't remember which of the two Latvian policemen is the bad guy. Don't really understand Wallender's love (which persists throughout the series) for Baiba; she is under-characterised.
