![]() No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. While the story is rather long and drawn out, what becomes quite fascinating is the series of misunderstandings that kind of sort of lead to solving the case. But I do hope that our two protagonists don't have to go through even more violence in the next installment of this series. I did listen to the audible version of this book, and here is the first problem...they changed the reader!! Graeme Malcolm is a good reader but I would have preferred the book read by Steven Pacey, who read all the previous titles. It just didn't feel right listening to Assad with this new accent (or lack of) and a completely new voice. Let's face it, only Pacey that can give the perfect voice for Assad, or Carl Merck even. For this reason only 3 stars, but it's a book that would have earned 4 stars easily because of the gripping storyline. I enjoyed the mystery once again, and I was so caught up with the web of speculations on the assassin(s?) that I didn't see the solution until the very end, when it was revealed. I looked up the next book in the series, another audible book, and alas the reader is changing again: Saul Reichlin did a fantastic job in reading the Tony Hill & Carol Jordan series by Val McDermid, but will he be a better choice for the Department Q? Department Q is getting darker. Carl Morck barely mentions his old girlfriends because he's so wrapped up in three terrible threads: his own ongoing case from years before, when he and two other police officers were shot - one died, one paralyzed, no arrests; a twenty year old hit-and-run accident left to him by a rural police officer who committed suicide; and the personnel issues in his own department. While investigating the accident involving a shaman from a commune, all three agree to be hypnotized, and Rose and Assad struggle to regain their footing afterwards. The denouement is fearsome and once again, Assad (whose true name is revealed to be Said, and he's got ties to Syria) gets the worst of it. As usual, the story is suspenseful, but the perpetrator is revealed a bit early and much of the humor is missing this time. Nok en herlig historie med Carl, Assad og Rose!

"New York Times and internationally bestselling author Jussi Adler-Olsen returns with the sixth book in his exhilarating Department Q series, featuring Detective Carl Mørck and his enigmatic assistants, Assad and Rose. In the middle of his usual hard-won morning nap in the basement of police headquarters, Carl Mørck, head of Department Q, receives a call from a colleague working on the Danish island of Bornholm. Carl is dismissive when he realizes that a new case is being foisted on him, but a few hours later, he receives some shocking news that leaves his headstrong assistant Rose more furious than usual. Carl has no choice but to lead Department Q into the tragic cold case of a vivacious seventeen-year-old girl who vanished from school, only to be found dead hanging high up in a tree. The investigation will take them from the remote island of Bornholm to a strange sun worshipping cult, where Carl, Assad, Rose, and newcomer Gordon attempt to stop a string of new murders and a skilled manipulator who refuses to let anything--or anyone--get in the way"-- No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

Carl Mørck, head of Department Q is called on to the cold case of a seventeen year old girl who disappeared from school, and found dead hanging in a tree. He goes to the small remote Island of Bornholm to investigate further. As he digs deeper he learns of a strange cult, as he tries to solve the crime and prevent more deaths.
The story moves at a steady pace with alternating chapters from past to present. This helped in giving me a feel of what each person was going through. The story has some twist, turns and had me guessing until the end. Overall I enjoyed The Hanging Girl and intend to read more in this series. (
