I don't know if it was because I had longed to go back to reading or what, but I LOVED this book! It wasn't as mysterious as the first one, but what it lacked in suspense, it had in all the small details that make a great book. The second installment of the Department Q series brings us together onc...
Original title: Fasandræberne I'd like to make a note about the covers of the English edition, they really don't look like detective covers to me. If I saw this in a bookshop, I'd probably think it was a novel... I’ve read the first book in the Q-series years ago, but somehow there never seeme...
Also published under the title "Disgrace"Book 2, in the Department Q seriesWe learnt in the first installment that Department Q was set up the handle cold cases with Carlo Morck, a prickly Copenhagen Deputy Det., to lead it.

Although, I loved the first book by Jussi Adler Olsen, this one never hooked me in. I found the characters to be flat and the book was slightly predictable or it had a storyline that I felt was a "dime a dozen" read.
Via http://onlectus.blogspot.com/2012/08/summary-on-goodreads.htmlThis is the second book by Jussi Adler-Olsen that I read. I guess I am nowa fan :-)I liked this one almost as much as I liked The keeper of loss causes (by Adler-Olsen as well). Why almost? Well, I understand that not two books are al...
Translated by K E SemmelDedicated to the three Graces and iron ladies: Anne, Lene and Charlotte.Opening: When she ventured down the pedestrian street called Strøget, she was poised as if on the edge of a knife. With her face half covered by a dirty shawl, she slipped passed well-lit shop windows, al...
Why did I read it? Because it an unproofed copy was offered to me in exchange for a review and I really enjoyed The Keeper of Lost Causes by the same author, but in audio format.What's it about? Comprised of some of the elite of Danish society, a pack of hunters are seeking the ultimate adrenaline ...
