The Shadow Murders is the 9th book of the 10-book series. The book is a whole set-up for the last book to come. It was a dark and violent book with chapters switching back and forth between the good and bad guys. The story had multiple POV's. The cliffhanger at the end will lead into the last and final book of the series. I have read the other books of the series but this book is only 3 stars.

The body of an elderly woman is discovered. More attacks seem random, but could they be related? Plot revolves around Danish welfare system & its abuses. The team are uncovering the dark and violent truth at the heart of Rose‘s childhood. I do love all the characters in this series but this was a slow read as the book is too long and needs editing. I did enjoy getting more information about Rose's past. Here's hoping the next one is edited better.

This cold case for Dept. Q is about a 17 yo girl, Alberte, who vanished years ago & was found dead hanging high in a tree on the Danish island of Bornholm. Det. Carl Morck & his assistants, Assad & Rose, discover a strange sun worshipping cult & a manipulator in Sweden & need to stop new murders while trying to find out who murdered Alberte. This is a true, dark historical story with twists & a surprise ending. Looking forward to the next book.

Marco 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.

1950 Denmark Nete Hermansen was sterilized by Dr. Curt Wad. Det. Carl Morck is presented with the case of women who went missing in the 80's. The novel brings to the forefront the forced sterilization of women in Denmark's recent history also the rise of a fascist political party. It is a top-notch thriller with lots of suspense from the beginning until the very end. I‘m looking forward to reading the next book in the series. Highly recommended!

Copenhagen Department Q has another cold case to solve - brutal double murder of a brother and sister 20 years ago. They find out that Kimmie, a homeless woman, holds the key but they need to track her down. Violent characters who hide behind their money are suspects. A bit long-winded but suspenseful and an insightful look at ruthless people. Can be read as standalone. Looking forward to next book & recommended to those who love Nordic thrillers.

Copenhagen's PD created a new department called Q in the basement of their building. Carl Morck, a flawed policeman and Assad, immigrant, menial work but intelligence very helpful to Carl. one cold case for Carl. It is a liberal woman politician who has been missing for 5 years. interesting plot but slow moving. very wordy needs better dialogue. Carl and Assad unique. switched to the audio version. I will continue series. recommend 3.5 stars
