Nice finish but some very long and detailed explanations of the Swedish system which may not be of interest to non Swedish readers...
Very nice follow up to girl with tattoo riveting

Quite good, and what I expected from him. The end is a bit unclear, but I guess it does the job :-)
Misinformation affects all of us on a daily basis—from social media to larger political challenges, …
This book should be mandatory reading. If you want to understand why some people apparently sane suddenly start believing conspiracy theories, look no further. Really really really recommended.

Emile nous a quitté dimanche, et j'avais envie de lire un de ses bouquins. Habituellement il écrivait pour le théatre, ici c'est un mini-roman. Je trouve que c'est super bien écrit, mais je ne suis probablement pas objectif. Salut l'artiste !

Sixteen years before Democratic Senator Bruce Jansen was elected president of the United States, a …
Not quite sure what to make fo this. Not bad at all, but to me a bit overwritten and quite previsible. But then I've probably been spoilt by the Department Q series :-)

The newspaper refers to the dead body only as Victim 2117 - the two thousand, …
this is the one I liked least of all the series. While we do get loads of answers, it is not (by far) as light and funny as the others.
Detective Carl Mørck of Department Q, Copenhagen's cold cases division, meets his toughest challenge yet …
Getting deeper and deeper into the background of the side people (no, not telling), and a front story which is getting crazier and crazier :-)
