Characters are still interesting. Would like more background for Assad. Sometimes I really don't like Carl - is this the translation to English or is he a little unlikable, I wonder?
Having a break from this book, really, and the pace isn't great - not comparable to the previous books. Do like the case at the center of it, though.
Ik vond dit een van de betere boeken uit de serie. Zoals gewoonlijk spannend tot op het einde.
Read this #5 in the series of Carl Mørck/Danish police/Department Q novels (First one is Keeper of Lost Causes) as we were headed to Scandinavia for our wonderful two weeks, which added considerable appeal, I have to admit! Mørck is still entertaining, as are his various sidekicks. Concern for Marco, the street urchin, kept me reading fast, even through various flights. It was great to actually walk by the Black Diamond and through Christiania after reading the book, too! I enjoy this series a lot, though my husband felt it read roughly, "like a bad translation," and gave it up partway through.

While a lot of this book is filled with descriptions of Marco running through the back alleys of the city, I cared for him deeply and was most anxious that he survived and found the life he desired and deserved.
not as good as the others; very few surprises/suspense and weird ending.
