Critics Review
There’s enough atmosphere and surprise on offer to satisfy series fans * Publishers Weekly *
Adler-Olsen’s storycraft is brilliant…Die-hard Carl Mørck fans will applaud this investigation’s familiarly intricate layers and the satisfying evolution of Assad’s and Rose’s characters * Booklist *
As in the other books in this excellent series, the path to resolution is twisted, the theme is grim, and the violence is never sugar-coated…A good Nordic noir with strong psychological overtones * Library Journal *
PRAISE FOR JUSSI ADLER-OLSEN’S DEPARTMENT Q SERIES: Quirky, tense and delightfully unpredictable * Sunday Times *
Scandinavian crime novels don’t get much darker than Jussi Adler-Olsen’s Department Q police procedurals * New York Times Book Review *
Gripping storytelling * Guardian *
Jussi Adler-Olsen is a name to know. In a crowded genre, Adler-Olsen is an outlier * GQ.com *
If you like the dark humor, wisecracking, and the layered betrayals of Raymond Chandler, then read Adler-Olsen’s Department Q series * Men’s Journal *
