I started this book immediately after finishing the show Dept Q - which had me rapt. It was maybe too soon to visit the same storyline again but I really enjoyed the book too. So grim.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ I‘m finally halfway through to catching up on the Dept. Q series. This was a twisty one that went many places at once and was a fun read. However a bit disappointed that I‘m 5 books in and still don‘t have a clue about Assad‘s background. This didn‘t push the storyline forward a bit.

Other than that, a pretty good thriller.

Lesliereadsalot Is Dept Q the same one as the Netflix series? Really liked that series! 4mo
BookMaven9 Yes it is. I read the first one about 10 years ago ago which was the show. I read until there were no more. Now there‘s 10! I‘m working on catching up 4mo

I just found out that my favorite #NordicNoir series has been adapted into into a Netflix show. I hope its good. I'm tagging the old group; fearful they're no longer on Litsy since I have not seen any posts from them.

I liked this series, especially because it had humorous moments.

AnneCecilie When I first saw the title, I thought it was based on the books, but then it wasn‘t set in Copenhagen and I got unsure. Do you know that Adler-Olsen has given some authors the right to continue the books, and there‘s a new one coming out now? 5mo
Butterfinger @AnneCecilie I have mixed feelings. I'm glad the books will continue. I hope the authors will do justice by his creation. 5mo
Crazeedi I don't have Netflix but I enjoyed the books! 5mo
Butterfinger @Crazeedi oh, how I have missed you. 5mo

I reached 67% and have 3 1/2 hours at 1.5 speed to finish. I‘ve been arguing with myself about bailing all morning, and I surrender. I don‘t know if it‘s the narrator, the translation, or the source material but I dislike the characters, the author seems oddly obsessed with menstruation, and non-white male characters are not written well. I wanted to read this before watching Dept Q, but I think I‘ll skip the TV show as well.

mcctrish This is on my TBR and now I think I will take it off 6mo
DGRachel @mcctrish There seems to be a lot of love for the series but @Hooked_on_books has a review here that captures some of the key things that bothered me. I might have been able to power through except I found the story itself and the main detective both tedious. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 6mo
Hooked_on_books Yeah, there are big issues with this one. Bailing was a good move. 6mo

I loved the subtlety of the story and the humor in this book. There are several phenomenally good sentences in here. The story is a simple one at its heart, but it rings so true. Turns out I‘m definitely a Nors fan.

Cathythoughts Looks interesting! Stacked. ❤️ 7mo

I randomly picked this up and need to read the prequel now! A journalist, a detective, and the subject of ptsd…seeing things whilst subconsciously grasping for patterns. Loved the book. Good if you are a fan of Scandinavian-noir and need a new lead.

Department Q has always been a great series. As the last in line, Locked In has all the intrigue and twists only Adler-Olsen can pull off. With throwbacks to other DQ cases and the end where we see the whole series come full circle — amazing. These are books you can read out of order or over and over. Save Locked In for last. Adding a spoiler tag because it's the last in the series. I don't want to ruin the ride!

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.

squirrelbrain I think I tried the first one of these a few years ago but no more. 😬 11mo
