A few loose ends

I am a big Wallender fan but this intriguing story left a few loose ends, things which, for me, needed explaining but were just swept away as though they were of no consequence. The story involving computers was and quite scary in that the whole premise seemed feasible. It certainly kept me listening and the iPad went with me from room to room.

Immensely enjoyable

Wallander is under pressure, but at his excellent best. sit back, clear your diary and enjoy an excellent thriller, and excellent naration. This is probably my favourite listen from 150 books!

TMany tantalising hooks, only a few resolved

There were so many tantalising hooks thrown at the listener, each a macabre sprinkle designed to surprise and then to form some entirely believable connection. But most led nowhere, and designed to lead nowhere. A character confirms this all too human drive to seek meaning and form out of disparate facts about a case. Where in all this lie the essential clues? One of the few Wallanders I've read/listened to. Kept me engrossed.

Excellent - one of the best

I enjoy Henning Mankell's Wallander novels and this is the one I have enjoyed the most so far. The story is well put together and moves along at the right pace with good twists and turns in the plot. Sean Barrett's narration is excellent and this was one of the best listening experiences I have had.

Good story with good pace..

As always I enjoy these Mankell stories and the readings. This has the usual gruesome killings and interesting plot. I'm not sure about the ending but nevertheless I still enjoyed it.

Sean Barrett delivers usual high quality reading with a tone and style that resllh reflects and supports what's going on in the story.

it's very good but maybe not as compelling as others in the series but other tastes may prefer this one..

recommended.

another superb listening experience. .

This is one of the best Wallander audio books I've listened to...the classic style of master detective writer Henning Mankell along with the prefect voice and tone of Sean Barrett as narrator make this a wonderful listening experience.
I'd give more than 5 stars if I could and would recommend.

Clever story

What did you like most about Firewall?

The story kept you moving along the whole time. There were no 'dead' or boring periods that cause you to tune out for a while.

What about Sean Barrett’s performance did you like?

Sean Barrett gave a decent performance while trying to portray the different characters.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

At over 13 hours I couldn't have listened to it all in one go. But I found it quite easy to put down and pick up again the following day.

Another excellent listen great series of books!

I really did enjoy this book, once again excellent narration from Sean Barrett. More twists and turns that keep you listening, another series I'm hooked on! Great story- I wasn't sure how this one was going to work out and it kept me listening. You can't help but smile at some points. Again didn't want to stop listening - I've bought book 9 and just about to start listening, hoping it will be as good as this!
