Kennedy's Brain

I've read Kennedy's Brain by Henning Mankell and I was quite disappointed by it. It was different to many of his other books and seemed to be about the author's crusade to do something about AIDS. Swedish archeologist,Louise Cantor, finds her son, Henrik, dead in his apartment. He appears to have suicided however Louise believes he was murdered and then investigates by re-tracing Henrik's movements through Europe and Africa. She discovers a hidden world of AIDS sufferers and those who exploit their suffering as she seeks the truth behind her son's death. The story is well-written and explores the subject of AIDS in Africa and the injustices of poverty there, proposing an international drug company conspiracy. However, I found the end frustrating as there is no resolution to the murders. The story also tells us that we cannot know everything about the people we love as Louise discovers Henrik's secrets. 3/5
