The Keeper of Lost Causes: The First Department Q Novel | Jussi Adler-Olsen

I just found out that my favorite #NordicNoir series has been adapted into into a Netflix show. I hope its good. I'm tagging the old group; fearful they're no longer on Litsy since I have not seen any posts from them.

I liked this series, especially because it had humorous moments.

AnneCecilie When I first saw the title, I thought it was based on the books, but then it wasn‘t set in Copenhagen and I got unsure. Do you know that Adler-Olsen has given some authors the right to continue the books, and there‘s a new one coming out now? 3d

Butterfinger @AnneCecilie I have mixed feelings. I'm glad the books will continue. I hope the authors will do justice by his creation. 3d

Crazeedi I don't have Netflix but I enjoyed the books! 4h

Butterfinger @Crazeedi oh, how I have missed you. 4h

bailed

I reached 67% and have 3 1/2 hours at 1.5 speed to finish. I‘ve been arguing with myself about bailing all morning, and I surrender. I don‘t know if it‘s the narrator, the translation, or the source material but I dislike the characters, the author seems oddly obsessed with menstruation, and non-white male characters are not written well. I wanted to read this before watching Dept Q, but I think I‘ll skip the TV show as well.

mcctrish This is on my TBR and now I think I will take it off 3w

DGRachel @mcctrish There seems to be a lot of love for the series but @Hooked_on_books has a review here that captures some of the key things that bothered me. I might have been able to power through except I found the story itself and the main detective both tedious. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 3w

Hooked_on_books Yeah, there are big issues with this one. Bailing was a good move. 3w

I loved the subtlety of the story and the humor in this book. There are several phenomenally good sentences in here. The story is a simple one at its heart, but it rings so true. Turns out I‘m definitely a Nors fan.

Cathythoughts Looks interesting! Stacked. ❤️ 2mo

The second installment of the Nina Borg series is ok. It explores how discrimination and the Roma people (sincere apologies if I did not use the correct word) as outcasts. Other characters are introduced. I could see where it was going from a mile away, so I just moved on mid-read to book 3 (The Nightingale). However, a pick because of the writing and subject matter.

I randomly picked this up and need to read the prequel now! A journalist, a detective, and the subject of ptsd…seeing things whilst subconsciously grasping for patterns. Loved the book. Good if you are a fan of Scandinavian-noir and need a new lead.

Locked In: A Department Q Novel | Jussi Adler-Olsen

Department Q has always been a great series. As the last in line, Locked In has all the intrigue and twists only Adler-Olsen can pull off. With throwbacks to other DQ cases and the end where we see the whole series come full circle — amazing. These are books you can read out of order or over and over. Save Locked In for last. Adding a spoiler tag because it's the last in the series. I don't want to ruin the ride!

The last in the brilliant Department Q series. It‘s bittersweet—I can‘t wait to read the book, but I‘m so sorry to see the end of the series.

squirrelbrain I think I tried the first one of these a few years ago but no more. 😬 6mo
