”Den orolige mannen” har ännu inte nått butikshyllorna i USA men hyllas redan av amerikanska bokkritiker. ”A landmark moment in the genre” och ”masterful” är några av omdömena. Vad de amerikanska läsarna själva tycker om den sista boken i Wallanderserien återstår att se den 29:e mars när ”Den orolige mannen” släpps i USA.
“Readers whose knowledge of Scandinavian crime fiction goes beyond Stieg Larsson know that it was Henning Mankell who jump-started what has developed into a 20-year Golden Age. Mankell’s latest novel, the final volume in his Kurt Wallander series, represents a landmark moment in the genre comparable to the swan songs of Ian Rankin’s John Rebus and John Harvey's Charlie Resnick . . . Always a reticent man, Wallander shows an intensity of emotion here, a last gasp of felt life, that is both moving and oddly inspiring. An unforgettable series finale.”
—Bill Ott, Booklist
“Wallander makes a riveting [11th] appearance . . . Though shivering in the winter of his discontent, Wallander will grip the reader hard . . . He is that rare thing: a true original.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“Masterful . . . Mankell deftly interweaves the problems of Swedish society with the personal challenges of one man trying to understand what happened and why.”
—Publishers Weekly
