The Pyramid and Four Other Kurt Wallander Mysteries

De: Henning Mankell

Narrado por: Dick Hill

The Pyramid is the long-awaited addition to Henning Mankell's critically celebrated and internationally best-selling Kurt Wallander mystery series - a book of five short mysteries that takes us back to the beginning. Here are the stories that trace, chronologically, Wallander's growth from a rookie cop into a young father and then a middle-aged divorcé, illuminating how Wallander became a first-rate detective and highlighting new facets of a now canonical character.

Kenneth Branagh will play Kurt Wallander in a new PBS Masterpiece Theatre Mystery! series this summer.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Like the Wallander novels, these stories rank among the finest police procedurals being written today." ( Publishers Weekly)

Verlander

this along with the other wallander books I will read again they are excellent reading I love these books!

Dick Hill makes ever story better

Dick Hill (RIP) was the greatest storyteller ever. He makes ever story better. I’m going to try other Mankell books.

slow

I loved the previous Wallender books, but this one seemed to take forever. A disappointment.

Maybe the best Wallander.

Quite good. Well narrated. All the angst and mystery of a full length novel, but instead five stories.

Can't get enough!

Good stories, good to have some background. The narrator, however, is boring and too slow. While his enunciation is good, his pace and over dramatization of some words are annoying. I usually skip books read by him.

Pyramid story is extraordinary

I really liked these stories. I agree with the other reviewers who have noted that they provide the early history of Kurt Wallander. The story called "The Pyramid" is extraordinary. It reminded me of Fellini with the some of the images: his difficult and eccentric father and the latter's trip to Egypt necessitating Wallender to travel there to get him out of jail. Hard to explain unless you've read it, which I encourage you to do.

Did not want to stop listening!

A sure sign of a good audiobook is one that you do not want to stop listening to. This is the first Wallander audio for me but not the last. I already have bought more, having enjoyed this one so much. It is a good mystery with interesting characters and a plot that satisfies. What else do you want....oh, the narration is quite good also. Unlike some mysteries and thrillers, the plots in these four stories are actually believable...the characters seem like real people and the events are quite possible....no out-of-this world action....just a good story.

the pyramid and four other kurt wallender mysterie

I like walllender but was bored at times with these even though i still listened to all of it . look forward to reading a full length wallender to see if better.

Great adaptation of Mankell’s four short stories!!

Well read! Well performed! Classic Mankell mysteries! Dick Hill is a fine actor/narrator! Stellar!

Mediocre Listen

These stories provide a background to the character of Kurt Wallander, some were good but others only mediocre. The narration nearly drove me to shut off the story several times. It was slow, overly dramatic, and the "voices" seemed poorly matched to the characters.
