Yeah I love Dogs of Rigait was the first Wallander novel I read I can understand why they skipped that in the first series there s no point in them saying Hey Watch this brand new TV series about a Swedish detective Oops he s off to Latvia now And I understand why they skipped The White Lioness because of the Africa scenes and I find it really boring I just wish they d done Faceless Killers last year so that they could fill in Wallander s background for viewers and establish Rydberg as his mentor Plus they completely ignored Linda s suicide attempt so she just comes across as a whinging emo brat instead of having a deep reason for her fractured relationship with Kurt I m really worried about they ll do with The Man Who Smiled It s my favourite of the novels and I can t help but think of the huge chunks they ll cut out of it
