About this listen
Following the international No 1 bestsellers Mercy and Disgrace, Guilt is the fourth heart-stopping Department Q novel from Jussi Adler-Olsen, and a gripping treat for all fans of the Scandinavian crime thriller.
1987. Nete Rosen thought she'd put her traumatic youth behind her. Her caring foster parents and loving husband helped her start again. However, when a man from her past reappears one night, Nete's new life could be shattered. But she won't be drawn back into that nightmare - she won't be a victim again...
2010. Detective Carl M'rck from Copenhagen's cold case division is looking into the disappearance of Rita Nielsen, an escort agency owner. The investigation reveals that Rita is only one piece of the puzzle. Because this is not a one-off incident - but part of a disturbing pattern which has been hidden from prying eyes for over twenty years...
Jussi Adler-Olsen was born in Copenhagen and worked as a magazine editor and publisher before starting to write fiction. Mercy and Disgrace are the first two in currently four novels in the Department Q series. He holds the prestigious Glass Key Award, given annually for a crime novel by a Scandinavian author, and is also winner of the Golden Laurels, Denmark's highest literary accolade.

Adler-Olsen and Pacey - a marriage made in heaven!
We've now listened to all four of the Department Q stories and enjoyed them all. Adler-Olsen just gets better and better, and Pacey is such a wonderful reader. It still tickles me that all these Danes have regional English accents!
The story lines are quite gruesome and contorted at times, but it is the development of the stable characters - Karl, Assad and Rose/Ursa - that I have loved the most. Assad remains a mystery and some of his adages are quite hilarious, especially in the way that Pacey tells it! To find yourself laughing in the midst of a series of terrible unsolved crimes is bizarre, but laugh we did - it just makes Assad more loveable - they're all loveable in their own unique, weird ways.
Adler-Olsen weaves a clever tale, with plenty of psychological background of the perpetrators of the crimes to make their actions understandable, albeit inexcusable. However, the development of the main characters that go from book to book, is endearing. You're left wondering about their psychological backgrounds and wanting more information, which he metes out in piecemeal fashion to keep you wanting more - clever! I can't wait for the next book and I hope that Steven Pacey continues to read the story to us. Together they make a brilliant combination! When is the next one coming out????

Slow start but worth hanging in
Stephen Pacey's narration is always an incredible joy to listen to. His intonation and ability to capture a character is the best I've listened to. Worth buying for his delivery alone.
