À propos de cet audio

 In The Keeper of Lost Causes, Jussi Adler-Olsen introduced Detective Carl Mørck, a deeply flawed, brilliant detective newly assigned to run Department Q, the home of Copenhagen’s coldest cases. The result wasn’t what Mørck—or readers—expected, but by the opening of Adler-Olsen’s shocking, fast-paced follow-up, Mørck is satisfied with the notion of picking up long-cold leads. So he’s naturally intrigued when a closed case lands on his desk: A brother and sister were brutally murdered two decades earlier, and one of the suspects—part of a group of privileged boarding-school students—confessed and was convicted.

But once Mørck reopens the files, it becomes clear that all is not what it seems. Looking into the supposedly solved case leads him to Kimmie, a woman living on the streets, stealing to survive. Kimmie has mastered evading the police, but now they aren’t the only ones looking for her. Because Kimmie has secrets that certain influential individuals would kill to keep buried . . . as well as one of her own that could turn everything on its head.

Every bit as pulse-pounding as the book that launched the series, The Absent One delivers further proof that Jussi Adler-Olsen is one of the world's premier thriller writers.

Ce que les critiques en disent

“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's humor and his portrayal of Kimmie's sad life make The Absent One stand out among today's flood of Nordic mysteries."

"Adler-Olsen has created a wonderful addition to the detective fiction genre...Readers of detective fiction, international crime fiction, and suspense fiction will highly enjoy this thriller."

“[An] absorbing psychological thriller.”
— Library Journal (starred review) on The Keeper of Lost Causes

“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.”

I liked this narrator and would listen to them again, but I prefer the narrator from book 1. I liked the Danish accent better, it felt more realistic to the setting and characters. It did take me a minute to get used the book 1 narrator, but in the end it was preferred now that I’ve had a chance to listen to both.

Good narrator, but original narrator was better

I’m enjoying this series. The author has quite the imagination for colourful crimes and criminals.

Imaginative and compelling.

Some of the interplay between the main character and his co-workers was good. The ‘scary, gruesome, shocking, titillating’ aspects of the book, ie the main plot- 95% of the book, was pretty damn embarrassing.
Stephen Pacey is a genius narrator but it didn’t seem like his heart was in this one. And really, why would it be?
Writer has potential. Should move out of his parents basement and expand his worldview in order to write better material. Hopefully my purchase helps with this.

Pretty crappy.
