The Troubled Man Henning Mankell Books

I bought this book a while back. It took me sometime to approach reading it as it was Kurt Wallander's last. When I finished the book, I felt as if I was stabbed in the heart. I have to admit I have not read the series in order; and to move suddenly from a doggedly tenacious young detective to an aging, forgetful & diabetics-afflicted 60-year-old Wallander upset me terribly.

So please read the book in order! If you pick this as your first Wallander book, you will get truly depressed and will miss the true brilliance of Mankell's Wallander. For those who have read other books of the series, it goes without saying this book is a must-read.

The fact this book stirred up such emotions, says a lot about the skill of the author. As a person that has hit middle age and slowly moving past it, Wallander's fears of death, loneliness and the feeling that the best of his life had already passed echoed my own fears. The typical theme of loneliness and isolation that run throughout the series is truly amplified here. I missed the team of detectives and characters that worked with Wallander in other books.

However as the book points out Wallander is now the old guard and most of his contemporaries, with exception of Martinsson, have passed on or retired. The case is also more personal as it involves his daughter Linda's in-laws, who go missing

The case itself has many clues and I caught on to it midway through. The book, I felt was not so much about the mystery,
but more about Wallender's tying loose ends, reliving his past and present relationships with his ex-wife Mona, lover Baiba, and his daughter Linda.

His relationship with Linda on occasions are tense, and the conversations between them are sometimes terse. They get irritated with each other and Wallander often feels his daughter is infringing his personal space. Troubling him more is the dark shadows that envelop Wallander as he progressively starts to suffer from blackouts and memory loss.

Here too it is not too surprising what Mankell is hinting at on how he plans to end the Wallander's story. Even so, the last few sentences of this book broke me. The clinical disposal of the well-loved detective by Mankell left me in a dark, melancholic mood. I almost wanted to shout: "How dare you do this to him?"

Well it is obvious Mankell is truly finished with Wallander.

The Troubled Man Henning Mankell Books Reviews

I had no idea this would be the LAST of a wonderful series I have completely enjoyed, both on TV as well as these wonderful books.
This last story centers on an aged Wallander who drinks far too much, is increasingly forgetful, and more and more out of touch with family (anyone) who loves him.
IT IS A LONG SLOW DEPRESSING STORY OF DECLINE.
And Mr. Mankell is NOT kind to our beloved Kurt Wallander .
Because we now know Mr. Mankell was dieing, I can only guess he harbored anger over his personal circumstances and took that anger out on his creation ( Kurt)....and ultimately his readers.
Is this story more about Mankell ( who just died) than Wallander? Maybe, I don't know.
Just be prepared.
Do not read if you are at all sensitive, or going through something.
There is an abundance of sadness, anger, and a really terrible, horribly depressing ending.
If you are considering this book, it’s because you have already read most of the Wallander books, and you know this is last one. You have probably also read the reviews, most of which are negative.

I’m sad to say that they are accurate. “The Troubled Man” is not only badly written, it’s a very disappointing conclusion to the Wallander series.

It’s bad in so many ways, it’s hard to know where to start. Mankell commits the original writer’s sin of telling instead of showing, and does it over and over. There are long narrative explanations as character after character recite their stories about the main characters. And those characters seem to pop up from the pages of the book without context or explanation. Wallander drives here, flies there, talks to people, calls them, considers his mortality, pets his dog, all without the narrative drive that animates Mankell earlier works. We get lots of interaction between Wallander and his daughter, but little development of that relationship. If this was a first novel, it would never have been published.

But of course, it is not a first novel. It was published because it was Mankell’s last Wallander novel, and it is a disappointing way to take leave of the Swedish detective, and represents, to this reader anyway, a case of literary negligence on Mankell’s part. It would have been better if he had just let the series stand, and not written this disappointing finale. For my money, I will prefer to think of the final Branagh episode as the end of the Wallander series. The spine of the story is the same, but the script is tighter and handles the balance between the case and Wallander’s creeping dementia with much more skill, with Wallander’s condition touching the case at a decisive moment, and his relationship for his daughter and granddaughter adding some warmth and heart to the shadow of a slowly graying future.

You may still feel obliged to read this, the final Mankell story, out of a sense of obligation. That’s why I did it, despite the reviews. Just be forewarned that the novel suffers from the same creeping loss of function as it’s protagonist. This is not the Kurt Wallander you have come to know.
