The Pyramid and Four Other Kurt Wallander Mysteries

By: Henning Mankell

Narrated by: 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.

Critic reviews

"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.
