INSPIRATION FOR THE NETFLIX SERIES DEPT. Q
In the exhilarating penultimate thriller of the New York Times and #1 internationally bestselling Department Q series, the team must hunt for a nefarious criminal who has slipped under the radar for decades.
On her sixtieth birthday, a woman takes her own life. When the case lands on Detective Carl Mørck’s desk, he can’t imagine what this has to do with Department Q, Copenhagen’s cold cases division since the cause of death seems apparent. However, his superior, Marcus Jacobsen, is convinced that this is related to an unsolved case that has been plaguing him since 1988.
At Marcus's behest, Carl and the Department Q gang—Rose, Assad, and Gordon—reluctantly begin to investigate. And they quickly discover that Marcus is onto something: Every two years for the past three decades, there have been unusual, impeccably timed deaths with connections between them that cannot be ignored, including mysterious piles of salt at the scenes. As the investigation goes deeper, it emerges that these "accidents" are in fact part of a sinister murder scheme.
Faced with their toughest case yet, made only more difficult by COVID-19 restrictions and the challenges of their personal lives, the Department Q team must race to find the culprit before the next murder is committed, as it is becoming increasingly clear that the killer is far from finished.

I began reading this book with mixed feelings. In my opinion, the previous one was not quite as successful as I had first thought. Also, the beginning felt tedious and long-winded, and progress was slow. It didn’t encourage me to move on, the cold case that was investigated didn’t impress me much.
Finally close to the middle of the book, yes very late, that’s where the magic happened. Suddenly the investigative team got its grip back because Rose took her place in the spotlight. She has always been a strong force in Department Q, trustworthy and inventive in many ways. In Shadow Murders, she steps out of the shadow and takes up a well-deserved role as the force in solving the case. On more than one occasion I had the feeling that Carl Morck let her take over gladly, as he is involved in more than one case.
Naturally, the story ends with a cliffhanger, so we have to read the next and final book of the series.
