    "Good-bye and farewell"

    Not a good listen. Inferior to the earlier books with Kurt Wallander. I diidn't like the reader - but by the end, I realized there wouldn't be any more books with this detective as the story line kind of sent him to the place where all retired characters go from discontinued series. If you want to be at peace the series is ending - read this one. If not, stick with the earlier ones with Dick Hill and enjoy.

    "thank heavens it's not narrated by Dick Hill..."

    Have no idea how I'll feel about this book by the time I'm done listening but just knowing someone besides Dick Hill is narrating gives me hope. I want my Scanidinavian narrators to have a Scanidinavian accent.

    "Ending lacked excitement."

    a somewhat engaging story with a cryptic ending. I especially liked the father daughter dialogue.

    "New narrator"

    For those who have intended to the rest of this series, the final book is narrated by a new reader. While he does a fine job, he is not quite as expressive as the original reader. Otherwise, the story has the same richly developed plot and character development as the rest of the series.

    "Last wallendar"

    I loved every minute of this book. I wish there were an endless supply of these novels. Wallendar is my favorite detective, Henning Mankell is such a superb writer. So great with characters.

    "A final tribute to a great detective"

    Markell is a master story teller! He has given Wallander such humanity. He is tenacious in his pursuit of the truth.

    "Not the best in the series.."

    It was a weird way to end this out. I understand it was Menkell's intent to wrap everything up, but it did not work for me.

    "Wonderful reader and story"

    This audio book kept us brilliantly entertained on an incredibly long car trip. The miles just flew by as we were lost in this marvelous, albeit sad, story. The writing flows so smoothly, and we never could figure out what came next. We love the Wallander books, but this one, the last of the series, was emotional and heartfelt. Highly recommend.

    "Long and introspective book."
    If you could sum up The Troubled Man in three words, what would they be?

    This book was great although it is very long and very dark and very introspective - not unusual for Henning Mankell books but don't read it if you are down. The narrator did a fine job of being Kurt Wallander, even against the great BBC and Public TV series that are beloved.

    "A favorite Henning Mankell"
    Would you listen to The Troubled Man again? Why?

    Enjoyed Mankell's writing, as always, and Robin Sachs did a terrific job. I'll be looking for more books narrated by him.


    Which character – as performed by Robin Sachs – was your favorite?

    Wallender


    Any additional comments?

    Loved with relationship between Wallender and his daughter.
