I’ve read all eight of Jussi Adler-Olsen’s Department Q novels in order since they came out. The characters have been amazing and quirky, from The Keeper of Lost Causes to Victim 2117.    In this novel the focus is on Assad, a detective in Dept Q, and his background which involves war and spying and family.

It’s very intense and sometimes sad. It seems a bit different from the other Dept Q novels.
