A great come back from a so so second book in this series. This book was fantastic. It was so intense for so long without making the reader weary. I love how we are learning more about the Dept Q characters. Such a great series

Не мой тип книга. Главните герои са много печени, но и в тази част, както и в предната, имаше неприятно много внимание отделено на лошия и на жертвите му и какво точно им с случва. На тях, както се сещате, нищо добро не им се случва.
Куп неща стават дразнещо на косъм. Дразнещо много неща дразнят, но пък действието е в Дания, а кога иначе ще четете трилър за тази страна?
След като прочетох 1 книга на този автор на Английски и една на Български, вече съм категоричен, че за да опитам пак, трябва да науча датски. Може пък в оригинал да ми хареса.

En otroligt spännande roman! Avdelning Q får flaskpost av sina skotska kolleger. Det visar sig att meddelandet - det som går att läsa av det - är skrivet i blod av en pojke som blivit kidnappad tillsammans med sin bror. Händelsen blev aldrig anmäld och mördaren går fri. Snart blir det ett kapplöp mot tiden, för att rädda nästa syskonpar.
Carl Mørck är lika kantig och otrevlig som vanligt. En del partier i den här annars rysande berättelsen är faktiskt mycket humoristiska, tack vare Carls skarpa och elaka iakttagelser - eller när han får sig på näsan, som förtjänt.
Det här är i toppklass - det bästa i kategori skandinavisk kriminalroman sedan Stieg Larsson. Fast böckerna om avdelning Q kan inte jämföras med Millenium serien som hade en helt annan ton och tema. Detta rör sig om mer klassiskt polisarbete. Camilla Läckberg med finess. Rekommenderas!

In this third book of the Department Q series, we're back with Detective Carl Morck and his assistants Assad and Rose, sorting through old unsolved crimes in Denmark. Scottish police send them a message in a bottle that's been sitting around and forgotten about by the Scottish police for years. By blowing up an image of the message, the team works on trying to sort out what the message, written in blood, says aside from "HELP ME" at the top.
This book spent a lot of time with the suspect himself. It explained his background and some of his past crimes as well as how he tried to build a life to make him look normal. Because I find Morck and the crew so entertaining, I missed them. More than half of the book was not them investigated the crime. Even though the other piece was well written and engaging, I would have preferred more time with Morck.
In the past two books, the author has touched on Morck's psychological problems with his partner getting shot but he never seems to hit the nail directly on the head. It was discussed for a total of about one chapter but really needs more exploring in the next book.
I really enjoy the books in this series and this was no different. I found the ending exceptionally well done. Highly recommended!

A message in a bottle washes up in Scotland and takes years to make its way back to Denmark, where it's determined to have originated. And despite being written 13 years earlier, it leads Carl and Assad to solve a crime currently being committed. Department Q is supposed to be dedicated to cold cases, but so far they've all been alive and kicking.
Between the killer, his unfortunate wife, Carl, his many coworkers and housemates, there's a lot going on in this book. A little too much at times, but it mostly comes together with some loose ends that will be continued in [b:The Purity of Vengeance: A Department Q Novel|18079489|The Purity of Vengeance A Department Q Novel|Jussi Adler-Olsen|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1381258025s/18079489.jpg|14903228].
The translation worked better on this one, although the decidedly British slang/vocabulary was a bit distracting at times.
