The Man from Beijin, by Henning Mankell

Very disappointed by this book. The approach is different from usual crime books as we know early on who the killer is. It could have been interesting but I thought it was mostly boring. I couldn't relate to the main character, a judge who is related to the victims. The only suspense is due to her doing things the wrong way, which is annoying. I also found the opening and closing of the book with the wolf to be extremely cheesy.

Des histoires courtes, beaucoup de poésie, le poids du temps de ces vies entières résumées en quelques lignes.
