The Purity of Vengeance | Jussi Adler-Olsen
post image
Pickpick

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ It‘s been a minute since I‘ve read a Department Q novel!

These books don‘t disappoint! Great characters along with very intricate storylines that weave and tie end nicely throughout. This one explores the oldies in Denmark when the right wing nationalists wanted to keep Denmark “Danish” and explored the lengths some crazies will go to keep in that way.

The relationships between Carl, Assad and rose gold deeper.

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.

Tove_Reads 🙌 I think someone left Litsy, I looked for them as well at some point. 2w
Tove_Reads @eanderson sadly left for better reading grounds somewhere over the rainbow 2w

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? 2w
Butterfinger @AnneCecilie I have mixed feelings. I'm glad the books will continue. I hope the authors will do justice by his creation. 2w
Crazeedi I don't have Netflix but I enjoyed the books! 1w

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 1mo
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. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 1mo
Hooked_on_books Yeah, there are big issues with this one. Bailing was a good move. 4w

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. 😬 6mo

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?

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?

dabbe My view was quite similar from years ago! Wonder if we were in the same hotel? 🤩 1y
Jerdencon @dabbe we were at the scsndic forget Bergen right across from the fish market. 1y
dabbe @Jerdencon I think we were farther north since the fish market was south from us. What a beautiful place! Fjords everywhere! 🤩 1y
