FROM THE 10 MILLION COPY, No. 1 BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE DEPARTMENT Q SERIES

A GRIPPING TREAT FOR FANS OF SCANDANAVIAN THRILLERS

1987

Nete Rosen thought she'd put her traumatic youth behind her. Her caring foster parents and loving husband helped her start again.

But then a man from her past reappears, who threatens to destroy her new life.

She won't be drawn back into that nightmare - she won't be a victim again . . .

2010

Detective Carl Mørck from Copenhagen's cold case division is looking into the disappearance of Rita Nielsen, an escort agency owner.

But as he investigates, he discovers that Rita is only one piece of the puzzle.

It's not a one-off incident, but part of a disturbing pattern that's been hidden for over 20 years . . .

This is your methadone if you enjoyed The Killing and found it overwhelmingly addictive (BBC Radio 2 Claudia Winkleman Arts Show)

Another Good Read

Reviewed in Australia on 7 November 2014

This is my 4th Dept Q book and as before another good read.The main characters are interesting and sometimes funny.
This book was a little too long but I still recommend it and will still be reading more of Dept Q cold cases.

I have thoroughly enjoyed all the 'Malmö' books, easy reads but probably even more because it plays out in an area, where I grew up, before moving to Australia...

Really engaging crime thriller that is part of the totally mesmerising Department Q series

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 May 2019

Verified Purchase

'Guilt' is the fourth book in the 'Department Q' series and is another complex but totally engaging crime thriller. While it can be read as a stand alone story, my advice would be to first read the preceding three novels, starting with the brilliant 'Mercy'. My reason for suggesting this is that certain threads (or story lines) run through each of the novels, at first appearing to be of only minor relevance, but as the series is unfolding, these 'secondary' story lines are gaining in importance, even though they are not the main focus of this or any of the preceding novels in the series. In addition, with each new book in the series, we learn more about the backgrounds and personalities of the main Department Q characters (Carl, Assad and Rose) & others (e.g. Hardy) which makes each of the novels more rewarding to read.
In 'Guilt' we find Carl & his colleagues having to deal with an outbreak of 'flu, more revelations in respect to the nail-gun case (one of the on-going threads that starts in 'Mercy'), Carl's on-going relationships with his, hopefully, soon to be ex- wife Vigga and his on-going infatuation with his psychiatrist, Mona & revelations about the death of Carl's uncle Birger. Then there are the two cases that this novel focuses on - a current case relating to an acid attack on a colleague's wife and a 'cold' case relating to the disappearance of a number of individuals back in 1987 which may or may not be linked. The latter case is very dark and has an interesting, if slightly implausible, political angle and some really nasty crimes being committed.
So, in short, a complex but thoroughly engaging crime thriller, full of tension, wonderful characters, atmosphere and, of course, a totally gripping climax which will have you wanting to race through the final few chapters to find out how it all ends. As you can probably gather, I am now totally hooked on this series!

Mixed bag

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 October 2019

Verified Purchase

I have enjoyed the Department Q series so far but I found this - the 4th instalment - to be somewhat mixed. The story is interesting - it made be wonder if the backstory of a far right Danish party based on eugenics had any aspect of historical truth - but I found some of the plot twists unbelievable. Carl can usually work out who is the main suspect when 4 out of 5 missing people are known to the same individual. I also find that Assad and Rose (and even Carl to some extent) are becoming more like stereotypes in each new story. The underlying sexism and racism is also a problem with much of this stemming from Carl himself. Trying to make a joke of it doesn't hide the fact this is unacceptable in my view.
All in all I'm considering stopping reading any further in this story line.

Guilty Pleasure

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 February 2016

Verified Purchase

Adler-Olsen's Dept Q books are never less than entertaining and Guilt is no exception although he treads the fine line between comedy and grim reality with his quirky characters. This one threatens rather too often to descend into farce and slapstick with Carl's complicated love life, a rather OTT super-villain in Curt Wad, a macabre house party in a sealed room and some rather fortuitous and intuitive guesswork by our wacky team of danish detectives. Rather too much skipping back and forward between Nete's story and the present day. However, there are many twists in this reasonably gripping tale with a serious theme (was it based on true life?) and I was genuinely interested enough in the characters to keep turning the pages. Not as procedurally strong or realistic as as few of the earlier ones but worth a look. Adler-Olsen is another rather unique crime writer worth cherishing like Fred Vargas.

Another Great Read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 January 2018

Verified Purchase

Jussi Adler-Olsen gives us here the fourth book in his Department Q series, and as we see the group of three are investigating their most dangerous case so far, where they could all end up dead. If you are coming to this series for the first time then you can quite easily read this as a standalone novel, however if you have read the series then you will have a greater understanding of Department Q and the main characters.

With some more evidence being found with regards to Carl Mørck and the nail-gun killings so he has to worry about this, whilst he and his assistant Hafiz el-Assad along with their secretary Rose start working through another cold case. As is usual we read about the past with regards to the case that is under scrutiny, along with the present. But here we have a case that can lead to potential harm for a certain right wing political party, one that most definitely doesn’t want its dirty secrets being aired to the public.

With lots of thrills and spills, with our intrepid team really pitted against not only solving past crimes, but also trying to stay alive, the author once again manages to inject some humour to keep this from getting too dark. With Rose explaining the reason to put toilet seats down to her two male colleagues, I think many women will agree with her.

With manipulations, a web of intrigue and dirty secrets, this makes for another good strong read in this series, which so far hasn’t disappointed.

creepy and most memorable

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 March 2014

From the brilliant Mercy [ a story that still sends a chill to my memory when I wake in the night ] Olsen has been one of my favourite stand out writers . I sometimes do not get some of the humour re race/ toilet jokes but maybe that is a Danish translation thing . Here I a really creepy story about revenge and supremacy and power . From the first scene when Nete attends a banquet with her husband and bumps into some one from her past that she doesnot want to see , I can feel a scream building in my throat . A marvellous thriller , very visual and with a shocking scene towards the end to keep me awake .
