Summary
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.

Well worth a listen
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

Engaging and complex
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.

Great performance
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.

A Solid Wallander Tale
Aspects of this story felt as if they were pushing into the realm of fantasy and were a distraction to what could have been a good story. As usual it was read so well by Sean Barratt and his turn as Wallander has become my favourite of those who have played this detective.
I think what was missing for me was a deeper dive into the back story, the plot focused on the killings and process taken to track the murderer which made it feel a little two dimensional. Still, for Wallander fans, it is another solid outing for him and his team.
