I don't know how I'm supposed to wait for the next book with an ending like that.
I thoroughly enjoyed this. The pace was great, the writing was terrific. It'll be such an excruciating wait for the next book in the series but Jussi Adler-Olsen and his characters are worth the wait.

3,9 goede degelijke Carl Mørk en Q team thriller. In deze thriller komt meer en meer naar voor hoezeer de 4 leden wel niet om elkaar geven. Het blijft knap hoe Adler-Olsen doorheen zijn serie de gevoeligheden voor elkaar en het naar elkaar toegroeien doseert en geloofwaardig brengt. Benieuwd hoe Carl’s problemen zullen opgelost geraken in de volgende boeken….

As always an excellent mystery for the Department Q team. I find the stories from other countries around Covid fascinating. I find it quite interesting the viewpoints, processes and procedures on how other countries handled Covid. It is important to note this story has nothing to do with Covid directly. It just takes place during the global shut-downs. I can't wait to read #10. Hopefully it is not long in arriving! The previous books have lead up to the events that will occur in 10 and it should be a fascinating mystery for the group to solve and save one of their own.

3.5 ster. Ik kon niet direct in het verhaal komen. Voor mij persoonlijk hoefde 'covid' niet in het verhaal verweven te worden.
De tweede helft van het boek was wel erg fijn om te lezen. Ze krijgen het dit keer wel voor de kiezen. Ik hou van dit team, vooral Assad en Rose. Ik zou dit boek niet als losstaand te lezen boek aanraden, het is veel leuker als je het team al kent. Lees eerst de eerdere boeken. Ben benieuwd naar de ontwikkeling omtrent de beschuldiging van Carl, kom maar op met het volgende deel.

When I started this book, I didn't know that I would be gripped so much by the story because I didn't want to miss some detail. I tried even taking notes and staying late at night to see what would happen next with our unit Department Q. I can't wait to read the next installment of this series, because I was left with a cliffhanger. I highly recommend the book to all readers that love Department Q cases and all who like to read a good crime story.
