I love the department Q novels. This one redeemed the series after the rather lacklustre Marco effect. I don't think I will ever tire of the banter between Carl and Assad, and I hope the next instalment sheds more light on Rose.

Det her er virkelig en god bog, lige efter Afdeling Q opskriften! Glæder mig allerede til at høre mere om personernes interne problemer og liv, og se hvilken sag de tager fat på næste gang

I started this book when it came out and got to chapter 10. This is not really an accomplishment as the chapters are short. Ever since I put this book down I have had it sitting in front of me every time I sit at my computer. So I finally picked up this book again yet I found myself lacking any interest in the story or the characters. I read a few other reviews by readers who have followed this series from the beginning and even they did not feel that this book was as strong a showing. I just could not make myself continue reading this book for the full 432 pages. Which if the book does not draw me in the first few chapters then I can not stick with a book. There have been a few times where I have tried and my thoughts about the book did not change. There was too much talking.

I love the department Q series. Carl Morck, Assad, Rose and the gang are great! Can't wait for the next installment.

Assad’s character is the best. Carl’s misogyny is shocking at times.
