As a bonus, there's an essay by Henning Mankell on how he came to create and develop the character of Wallender.

It had me hooked from the first chapter, when Wallander finds a finger bone sticking out of the earth in an overgrown garden of a country house he's thinking of buying.

Review 1: I listened to this as an audio book.
