Review of 'The keeper of lost causes' on 'LibraryThing'

No rating

A woman is held in captivity; a detective is sidelined with a new job (running Department Q, a cold case squad of one) and a seemingly incompetent assistant from Syria. The assistant turns out to be sharp, the cases not so cold, and the woman quite a hardy specimen. I was disposed to hate the book given its prologue, but by the end I was won over. A Dane proves there is humor in Scandinavian crime fiction.
