Bailedbailed

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 1w
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. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 1w

Hooked_on_books Yeah, there are big issues with this one. Bailing was a good move. 1w

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. ❤️ 2mo

The second installment of the Nina Borg series is ok. It explores how discrimination and the Roma people (sincere apologies if I did not use the correct word) as outcasts. Other characters are introduced. I could see where it was going from a mile away, so I just moved on mid-read to book 3 (The Nightingale). However, a pick because of the writing and subject matter.

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.

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?
