The Hanging Girl by Jussi Adler-Olsen
4.0
Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for sending me this ebook in return for an honest review. I enjoyed reading this book and give it a solid 4 out of 5 stars.
Carl Morck is the head of Department Q, a cold case squad of the Danish police.
He has 2 assistants, Assad, a Syrian refugee, and Rose. This is the sixth book in the series and I have only read this one and book 1 in the series.
The narrative proceeds along 2 threads: One by Carl and one by a lethal and cunning killer, but there is a surprise ending about 1 of the murders. The case starts when a policeman commits suicide because Dept. Q won't take on a case that he wants reopened.
I like the author's sense of humor: "A wise man doesn't puke against the wind."
The translation is excellent, but there are distracting, repeated, intermittent formatting problems. The text will stop one or two words into that line and drop to the next line even though it is not the end of a sentence. I do not recommend buying the ebook version until the formatting issue is resolved.
