panThis was very boring for me, I was not interested in all those chases. Lot of things got uncovered at the beginning of the book, I have lost interest quite soon.

pick#5 in series. Gypsy crime in Denmark. Marco was an interesting character.
so-soThe book started with the reader knowing who the killer is. Then it turns into a wild cat and mouse hunt. Very intense moments. It started with a case that confused me; I didn't know what was happening. I adore Assad and his camel proverbs. #nordicnoir
pickMarco Jamison wanted to become a Danish citizen. His Uncle Zola forces him to beg and steal so Marco runs away. Carl decides to help Marco. This story was inspired by actual events. It‘s a story of honest people caught up by corruption of the times. Lots of twists keeps the pages turning! Book is a bit longer than needs to be but captivating otherwise! Looking forward to next book in the series.

pickWe meet Marco, a young boy, forced to steal in the streets of Copenhagen. He is a part of the clan where everyone is contributing by begging or stealing. One day, he has had enough and escapes, but not before he has heard something he shouldn‘t. That makes him a threat to the clan and suddenly everyone is looking for him.
Somehow Department Q gets involved in this, and a case of corrupt government employees and bank men.

We will discuss these three books in May. Jussi May 3, Camilla May 10, Lars May 17. #NordicNoir Some great reads 🙂
pickMy fave book in the series this far. The book is about a young boy called, Marco. He‘s part of a “family” of “Gypsies”. The leader is about to do something really bad to him, and he escapes. He hides in the woods with a corpse, a corpse that will lead him into even more trouble. Soon everyone is looking for him, including Carl Mørck. Interesting subject, we get to know more about our trio, and a new character is introduced. A bit too long ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Having minor surgery this coming week and while I am hoping it resolves some pain issues, I am almost as much hoping to finish some half started and abandoned books in the 3 day recovery period. I think I have been reading this one since 2015. I raced through the first 3. I hope books 5 and beyond are more engaging like the prior in the series. Encouragement from those who habe followed the series further than I ?
so-soFinished it! It wasn't my favourite book of the series. I like the Marco character but all the other character just fell flat for me. I would like so more background information on the characters and their motivation.
Ready for the 5th book. I love the department Q serie. Lucky for me I still got two more books left to catch up with this serie.
I have enjoyed Danish author Jussi Adler Olsen's novels about #internationalcrime. All of these are Department Q crime novels except Alphabet House, which is set in WWII. #feistyfeb
Detective Mørck and his #bestsidekick Assad must save a gypsy boy from the boys own family in yet another Danish murder mystery. Assad is such a funny and mysterious and valuable character. I've enjoyed how his own mystery grows through the series. #booktober
pick5th book in the Department Q series, with another strong showing for Morck and Company.
