Review:

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 "
"[T]his mix of offbeat departmental politics, puzzling clues, and pulse pounding pursuit delivers the goods."--"Booklist"

Praise for "A Conspiracy of Faith"

"A shattering parable of honest individuals caught up in the corruption of our times."
-- "Publishers Weekly "(starred review)

"VERDICT Adler-Olsen's cast might seem like stock crime-fiction characters at first glance - the curmudgeonly detective, the flighty secretary, the suspiciously resourceful assistant - but in his hands they are unpredictable and entertaining. This series has enough twists to captivate contemporary mystery readers and enough substance and background to entertain readers with historical and literary tastes."
--"Library Journal "(starred review)

"[T]his mix of offbeat departmental politics, puzzling clues, and pulse pounding pursuit delivers the goods."
--"Booklist"

"""The heroes and villains of "A Conspiracy of Faith "are compelling, and it's impossible to put down the book" --"Associated Press"

""A CONSPIRACY OF FAITH" is great reading, exhausting in all of the best ways, double-barrel loaded with a puzzling mystery on one side and an edge-of-your-seat, ticking-clock threat on the other..." --Bookreporter.com
