Sidetracked

I very much enjoyed Sidetracked by Henning Mankell which is a Kurt Wallander thriller.  Wallander attends when a farmer calls the police to tell them there is a young black woman standing in his field.  Something completely unexpected and tragic then unfolds before Wallander's eyes.  He is then called to investigate when a former Minister is found murdered near his home and the murderer takes a "trophy".  When more murders happen Wallander is forced to concede there is a maniacal serial killer committing these horrific crimes.  Wallander still wants to know who the young woman in the field was but wonders if he's been sidetracked when he should concentrate on the other murders which seem to be connected in some way.  Great story, but not for the squeamish. 41/2/5
