Mannen på stranden

by Henning Mankell

Göran Alexandersson ? Un homme sans histoire, apprécié de tous ceux qui le connaissent. Dès lors, son décès soudain à l'arrière d'un taxi doit résulter d'une mort naturelle. Un AVC sans doute. Voilà ce à quoi songe Kurt Wallander, quand les résultats de l'autopsie tombent et le laissent sans voix : il ne peut s'agir que d'un suicide... ou d'un meurtre. Et les indices sont bien minces pour tenter de découvrir qui pouvait avoir intérêt à faire disparaître Alexandersson. Alors ? S'avouer battu n'est sûrement pas dans les habitudes du célèbre commissaire, qui traquera la vérité sans relâche.

This was an astonishing little murder mystery in just over 50 pages, the first time I’ve read anything by Henning Mankell in English. Now of course I’ll have to see if I can find the Swedish original (and read it again) …

Gelesen an einem Strandmorgen in Cadaqués.

Den här boken var intressant, spännande, och lätt att läsa. Den var den första romanen att jag läser på svenska. Jag vill läsa många andra böcker av Henning Mankell i framtiden.

It was so obvious that Stenholm killed that man. However, i didn't think that the end would be like that.

Tänään 17.6.2024 sain loppuun kirjan nimeltä Mies rannalla. Mies rannalla oli mielestäni hyvä, ihana, vauhdikas, innostava, mukaansa tempaava, mukava, mielenkiintoinen ja koukuttava kirja.
Luin Mies rannalla selkokielisen kirjan ensimmäisen kerran vuonna 2021 ja nyt luin sen toisen kerran. Mielestäni toinen lukukerta oli parempi kuin ensimmäinen lukukerta. Lukiessani kirjaa nimeltä Mies rannalla minulle tuli sellainen tunne että torstain murhakerhon jäsenet olisivat olleet Wallanderin kanssa ratkaisemassa murhan. Minulle tuli todella erittäin oikein hyvä mieli.

Not the greatest read, but my first "book" in Swedish nonetheless. :-) I've been studying on my own for about a year now, and this has been a fairly easy read. Sure, there still was quite a bit of new vocabulary, but it never got to a point where I couldn't follow the story. I'll definitely buy more books from the "Lättläst" series, it's very motivating to realize that you can actually read a somewhat complex text.

A moody short read, leaving you with more questions than it answers.

[Sarah · Rating 4 out of 5]

Wir haben diese vereinfachte Mini-Ausgabe von"Mannen på stranden" in meinem Schwedisch A2-Kurs gelesen und ich habe mir sehr gefreut, tatsächlich alles problemlos verstanden zu haben! Die Handlung war trotz der extremen Kürze dieser Anfänger-Ausgabe auch sehr interessant und spannend - vielleicht lese ich beizeiten noch einmal das gesamte Buch (dann aber auf deutsch ;)), ich habe zumindest das Gefühl, dass es ein sehr gutes Buch ist!

[Freso :watermelon: · Rating 2 out of 5]

Read it for a Swedish course. The book was okay, very easy to read, but I think this easiness was also my greatest detriment to really enjoying it. It was usually possible to call out plot twists at least a chapter in advance. That said, it’s not a horrible book, and its small format makes it very easy to read on the go.

[Yuko Todo · Rating 4 out of 5]

Det var lite för lätt process att Wallander fann den brottsligen tycker jag.

[Maria Tampanariu · Rating 5 out of 5]

A very enjoyable short murder mystery. Loved the unpretentious but very suggestive style.

[Jana · Rating 3 out of 5]

Min första bok på svenska! Även om det bara tar en timme för att läsa den. Jättebra för nybörjade

[Jaime Almansa · Rating 5 out of 5]

The best of this tiny collection of stories… classic Wallander. What else do you want?

[Jen · Rating 4 out of 5]

Rounded up from 3.5. Good level for me as an intermediate Swedish learner.

[Tilly Atkinson · Rating 3 out of 5]

An easy, enjoyable, mini murder mystery.

[Geoff Foss · Rating 2 out of 5]

Pleasant. But that's not the really the adjective I was hoping for in this genre.

[Ben · Rating 4 out of 5]

My first book in Swedish. Okay, it is easy reading, but still I take pride. Strange story but not giving spoilers here.

Die flüsternden Seelen

[Ilva · Rating 2 out of 5]

Lasīju vāciski, tāpēc bija ok. Latviski noteikti nebūtu tā vērts.

[Melanie · Rating 4 out of 5]

The end wasn't very surprising but it's a nice, short read.

[Carma · Rating 3 out of 5]

Lättlästa men bra!
