A great addition to the series. Although by far, not my favourite, a satisfying ending more than makes up for that.

Virkelig god bog.. Kender flere der synes den var træls eller svær at komme igennem! Ikke jeg! Jeg synes den var vildt god, og vil savne Marco i de efterfølgende bøger hvis vi ikke hører mere til ham!

Overall, this one felt a bit long, but still a good series.

Dragged a little, but picked up at the end. Overall not quite as compelling as the other books in the series.

Endnu en fremragende bog i Afdeling Q serien! Dejligt og se mere sårbarhed og fandenivoldskhed hos Carl.

This Carl Morck book felt a bit different from the rest. It allowed for a temporary character to be a narrator for a good chunk of the book. Thankfully, Marco was an interesting character whereas Morck fell a bit flat this time. He wasn't his usual witty self.

The story was still enjoyable and it was easy to root for Marco and hope that he wins. This one isn't really a "who-done-it" since you know what happened, but more "how are they going to catch them". There were some good twists at the end!

Denne boka får jeg si var ok - mao 2 stjerner, og ikke flere... Jeg leste den ferdig. Litt på trass fordi jeg har likt de 3 første Jussi-bøkene veldig godt. Her ble det imidlertid for mange plattheter, dårlige dromedar-klisjeer på løpende bånd og et underlig flatt språk i forhold til det jeg er vant til fra Adler-Olsen. Det ble altfor mye Marco-flukt, altfor lite Carl & Co og generelt et temmelig vissent og utmalt plott. Nei dette var ikke noen høydare, at all...

This is probably my least favourite of the department q books I've read, but it's still an absolutely amazing thriller. The problem I have with this book is that it takes quite a long time to actually start and to show us the main characters. Nevertheless, it's still great and well worth the time it takes to read it.
