About this listen

The unabridged, digital audiobook edition of Jussi Adler-Olsen’s Disgrace, the second instalment from Scandinavia’s new best-selling crime writing sensation. Read by the actor Steven Pacey.

Kimmie’s home is on the streets of Copenhagen. To live she must steal. She has learned to avoid the police and never to stay in one place for long. But now others are trying to find her. And they won’t rest until she has stopped moving - for good.

Detective Carl of Department Q, the cold cases division, has received a file concerning the brutal murder of a brother and sister 20 years earlier. A group of boarding school students were the suspects at the time - until one of their numbers confessed and was convicted. So why is the file of a closed case on Carl’s desk? Who put it there? Who believes the case is not solved?

A police detective wants to talk to Kimmie and someone else is asking questions about her. They know she carries secrets certain powerful people want to stay buried deep. But Kimmie has one of her own. It’s the biggest secret of them all. And she can’t wait to share it with them….

These are not so much whodunnits, as why and what happens next?

We pick up with Dept Q and Carl, the head of the dept, and Assad his assistant almost immediately after the end of Book 1.

The case which they have before them has apparently been solved, with someone in prison, but it is clear that more than one person should be punished, and that at least three of them have lived on ill gotten gains too long.

A new quirky character has been added - the "delightful" Rose - a match for Carl.

If you enjoyed the first Dept Q book, then you will love this one - it is different enough from the first in plot to keep one interested throughout and the ending is breathtaking!

the narration is just as great as before. No 3 is already in my basket!

As good as the first

Como suele pasar con los bestsellers, la historia es interesante, y te engancha, pero por lo demás es un libro flojo. Diálogos manidos, situaciones poco creibles, y literariamente hablando bastante pobre.



El audio del libro es bueno, y el narrador hace un buen trabajo.



Recomendado 100% para aquellos que estén aprendiendo inglés, pues su vocabulario es bastante sencillo.

Historia interesante, pero poco más.

The reluctant detective and his energetic side kick are joined by a third member, soon to become an integral part of this slightly odd ball team.
A street lady, rich 'playboys', a thirst for blood and a joint history, which some want forgotten, are a backdrop for this latest adventure.

department Q is 👌

I enjoyed this book, it was rather violent in its tale but nevertheless very gripping. Even though one of the characters was one step from evil, one could almost understand how she became like that!
The story was good and unfurled well. Thought provoking indeed.
I enjoyed the interaction between Carl and his staff, although I find it a little strange!

Nicely narrated by Stephen Pacey

Very absorbing

This is my second department Q book. Mr Adler Olsen is a great thriller writer and I really like the characters Karl and Assad. My only problem is Mr Pacey the narrator, he is good but why has he not been briefed on how to pronounce the Danish names and places? He also uses some very odd english accents which as a Dane I find very off putting. I really would like to continue with these books but at the moment its just so frustrating, please fix it!!
