My current view in Bergen Norway. So beautiful here but we head out tomorrow. Reading this book that takes place in Copenhagen which was our first stop on our trip…. Love reading about place I know or have been to… anyone else?

Despite the grumpy, rude, bitter protagonist, this is a suspenseful and interesting crime thriller. I plan to read more of this series.

Guilt | Jussi Adler-Olsen

@Cinfhen @alisiakae @Barbara #booked2023 A 1st fail in winter when I missed ya bk, so here goes for spring with #setintwotimeperiods.
Another great Carl Morck story, in which Carl + his 2 colleagues Assad + Rose investigate several disappearances in 1987 , while in present day the search focuses on a far right party moving into power. Thus is a very enjoyable series set in Denmark which combines great plotting with a brilliant sense of humour.

Cinfhen You can still read the prompt from winter in spring or anytime/ that‘s the beauty of this challenge!!! 12mo
andrew61 @Cinfhen I will rethink the ya thread as I didn't have a clue. 12mo
Cinfhen Good luck 🍀 12mo

I really like the characters in this series but I found this installment a little too disturbing and gory for my tastes.

Redemption | Jussi Adler-Olsen

It's been a while since I read bk2 in this series, so was really pleased to pick this one up and enjoy this Danish thriller with the grumpy but very funny detective morck. Here, a message in a bottle is washed up on a Scottish beach + eventually lands on department q's desk. With his two odd assistants, the investigation becomes a hunt for missing children and a particularly clever villain

Cathythoughts I must look up this series , sounds good ! 1y

Selfies | Jussi Adler-Olsen

Jussi Adler-Olsen says he wrote Carl the way he is because he himself is like Carl 😃 Actually, his name is Carl. Morck comes from a man he befriended when he was a boy. This man had murdered his wife. Apparently the policemen in Denmark are crazy about his books.

EadieB Interesting! I just got approved to read his last book on NetGalley! 2y
AnneCecilie Interesting. His newest book is on its way to me in the library system. 2y
Tove_Reads @AnneCecilie I read it awhile back. 2y

I really like the Department Q team, and I enjoy the banter that they have going on. They are digging into a series of super weird deaths that they deem to be murders. Carl is also in trouble. I liked the mystery, but the book could have been shortened to half the length.

Andrew65 always feel this with his books, just too long. 2y

Andrew65 @EadieB Allegedly been a man of leisure since Tuesday , so what did my body do but develop sinusitis! Had massive headaches the past two weeks but easing now. Also found out my medicine for Crohn‘s make me more susceptible to a serious dose of COvID so swings and roundabouts 🤣 Got a hospital appointment on Monday so hopefully find out more then. Then hopefully we‘ll head off on our first mimi tour next Tuesday. @Tove_Reads (edited) 2y
Andrew65 Been absent the last week as being trying to avoid screen time and not done much reading because of the headaches. This new way of life is going to take some getting used to without emails constantly coming in. 2y
EadieB @Andrew65 oh wow! Not something you counted on. Hopefully it will be better after you go on your trip. (edited) 2y
Andrew65 @EadieB Things can only get better! 🤣 2y

I really like this series. This is the third installment. The core characters are lovely and quite amusing. I look forward to finding out what the deal is with Assad. This one starts with a pair of boys being held captive. There's a lot going on, actually. It kept me engaged.

I swear that I had a photo. I must have gotten carried away with my google purge.
