The Purity of Vengeance

A Department Q Novel

De: Jussi Adler-Olsen

Narrado por: Graeme Malcolm

INSPIRATION FOR THE NETFLIX SERIES DEPT. Q

New York Times bestselling author Jussi Adler-Olsen returns as Detective Carl Mørck and his Department Q team delve into a cold case that turns into more than they may be able to handle...

In 1987, Nete Hermansen plans revenge on those who abused her—especially Curt Wad, a surgeon who was part of a movement to sterilize wayward girls in the 1950s. More than twenty years later, Detective Carl Mørck already has plenty on his mind when he is presented with the case of a brothel owner, a woman named Rita, who went missing in the eighties: New evidence has emerged.

And when Carl’s assistants, Assad and Rose, learn that numerous other people disappeared around the same weekend as Rita, Carl takes notice. Sifting through the evidence, they inch closer to Curt Wad, who is still committed to his twisted beliefs, and whose treatment of Nete only hints at his capacity for evil.

Reseñas de la Crítica

Praise for The Absent One:

“Adler-Olsen, Denmark’s leading crime fiction author, outdoes his outstanding debut, The Keeper of Lost Causes, with his second Department Q novel.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Adler-Olsen has created a wonderful addition to the detective fiction genre in his sleuth….While the book can be read as a stand-alone novel, readers will be unable to resist seeking out and devouring the first and subsequent series titles.” — Library Journal (starred review)

Praise for The Keeper of Lost Causes:

“The pages fly by as the twisty puzzle unfolds. Stieg Larsson fans will be delighted.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“[An] absorbing psychological thriller.” — Library Journal (starred review)

“Comparisons [to Stieg Larsson] are inevitable and, while he may lack a Salander, Adler-Olsen’s prose is superior to Larsson’s, his tortures are less discomfiting, and he has a sense of humor.”— Booklist (starred review)

“Plan on putting everything else in your life on hold if you pick up this book.” — The Oregonian

Outstanding Narrator!

I read the first 4 Q books and by far the last two read by Mr Malcolm were the best.
He absolutely captures the characters which enhances the story tenfold.
Kudos!

Twisted

The characters are quirky and believable and the story is disturbing but real. Looking forward to the next in the sequence

Perfectly imperfect characters

Adler-Olsen writes a great story. The characters are so very human and he writes them all with respect. I could listen to Graeme Malcom all day long.

Effervescently Awesome! Lol!!

Seriously though, it's a good story very well performed by Mr. Malcolm. Mr. Olson doesn't disappoint with his multifaceted and twisty turny storytelling right up to the very end. Well done! & thx!!

Great Story Line

I very much enjoyed this book. Loved Alder-Olsen's writing style. Narrator was very good too.
