The Pyramid

This is a review from a book I've read recently.

The Pyramid by Henning Mankell

The Pyramid is set in Ystad, South of Sweden, in 1989 Christmas time. In the novel, Inspector Kurt Wallander and his colleagues are working on solving two double murders and another murder one with just one victim. The most complicated issue they had was to find the connection existent between them. It seemed inexplicable until Wallander got an idea in his travel to Egypt when he saw the Pyramids.

I was fascinated by the vivid descriptions of both countries, which are absolutely different from one another. I also was also completely intrigued by the plot. Who wanted to assassinate two old ladies in a sewing shop? Why did an illegal light aircraft crash? Why did the main suspect appear murdered in the forest? Three questions that needed to be answered to arrest the right person.

The novel is especially focused on the main character, Kurt Wallander. He is a just divorced man, whose life is a bit chaotic due to his unhealthy habits. In contrast, at work he investigates every case accurately; this along with his intuition makes him an excellent inspector.

If you enjoy reading crime novels, you will really love this book where the action never stops. The way in which the author wrote it keeps the tension and the intrigue high until the end, so it will haunt you. Therefore, you will be transported into a research atmosphere where the hints will lead you to the solution.
