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.

Great series, all with slightly different twists and turns throughout and this one did not dissapoint. Great characters and brilliantly read

I love this series

Well worth listening. Explores a wide range of emotions and a difficult situation. Wallander remains a believable, troubled person and his relationships are given time to unfold. Excellent narration, Sean Barrett is a consummate professional and does this story full justice.

Engaging and complex

Great story, well read. Interesting book that had me hooked from the start. Recently, I've avoided the serial killer genre but glad I made an exception for this one. I liked the central character and thought the narration fitted the story very well.

Great performance

Yet another of Mankell’s wonderful plots finely narrated as usual. Can’t wait to hear the next of Wallender’s cases.

As good as ever

This is the fifth Henning Mankell book I have read and although I have enjoyed all the previous four this was for me the best one so far. First let me say the Narration was top notch from Sean Barrett he brings the characters alive with their idiosyncrasies and flaws while leaving enough for your imagination to fill in the gaps. The story for me was excellent and well-rounded, with excitement and plot developing while building on relationships and characters, linking to the previous books seamlessly. I am looking forwards to the next on, which I have already bought!!

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
