Welcome to Litsy!

The last in the brilliant Department Q series. It‘s bittersweet—I can‘t wait to read the book, but I‘m so sorry to see the end of the series.

4⭐️ I really liked the book and found it an enjoyable read. Liked the character development and the story. #2024 #mystery #suspense #contemporary #bookclub #thriller

An early #BookReport from me this Saturday

I finished the 10th Department Q crime book

I continued Sovereign #ShardlakeBR and Katti Anker Møller
And I‘m also reading Hedgewitch

The 10th and last book in the Department Q series. Through the previous books, we have gotten glimpses of the last case Carl had with his last team members. This book starts with Carl‘s arrest for happened back then on suspicion on corruption, murder, narcotics.

While Carl is in prison, his team is trying to find proof of his innocence and someone is trying to have him killed.

Will Carl survive and is he guilty?

This is such a good lil‘ mystery I read it twice (once in English a few years back, and now in the original Danish)! I do feel like a significant amount gets lost in translation, but not enough to impact the overall plot and enjoyment thereof.

Danish is my first language, yet one I rarely read in. So far, this one‘s been worth all the effort it took to get it in the original, though, as so much of the linguistic humor did not survive translation (I read the US version in 2022).

If my mom has ever regretted raising a reader, I think it might‘ve been the moment where I asked her to go to the grocery store an hour from her house and get me books on sale, then mail them across the Atlantic (5th one‘s coming, too). 😂
