The Return of the Dancing Master


I enjoyed this intriguing murder tale, The Return of the Dancing Master by Henning Mankel. An elderly man who lives a reclusive life following his retirement is murdered in an horrific fashion. A young policeman who used to work with him decides to travel to the district where his former colleague was murdered and teams up with the local police there. The murdered man had a mysterious past which may explain the motive for the murder. A terrific story as the truth is gradually brought to light. 4/5
