Marco-effekten
by Elisabeth Bjørnson, Øyvind Reisegg, Jussi Adler-Olsen
Yet another great book about department Q and Carl Mørck and Assad, and I'm amazed.
This book "The Marcoeffect" is about a young boy named Marco, who has been raised to steal from people on the street. The whole gang is controlled by Zola, who takes all the stolen goods for his own pleasure. Marco didn't want to be there, he wanted to be a normal boy. When Marco discovered what Zola wanted to do to him, he managed to escape from Zola and the gang. He also found out a horrible secret that had now endangered him even further, so he had to hide and keep being on the run.
As for Carl and Assad at department Q, their investigation is harder than it's been before, with a lot of loose ends. They're trying to investigate a murder on William Stark, but they also try to get to Marco so they can get his story.
Overall, this book was amazing. The whole story about Marco is very intriguing. Marco is very smart and bright for his age, even more so since he has never really gone to school. Everything he goes through after his escape is astonishing, and this has definitely been the best story of this series so far. I really related to Marco for his insecurities.
It is as always really interesting to follow the investigations of Department Q, and as always it is Rose who decides which case they're investigating. Interestingly, she hasn't annoyed me as much in this book as she usually does.
I give this book 5 stars, it's simply the best story of the series yet.
