chelseakasten 's review for:

The Absent One by Jussi Adler-Olsen
3.5
dark tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated
Overall I liked the writing, but the violent and graphic narrative was overwhelming at points. I have read a lot of these types of books, and this was much more intense than Harry Hole, Armand Gamache, or even the first Department Q book.
