The Keeper of Lost Causes by Jussi Adler-Olsen Book Summary

Get to know the detective in charge of Copenhagen's coldest cases in the first electrifying Department Q mystery from New York Times bestselling author Jussi Adler-Olsen.

Carl Mørck used to be one of Denmark’s best homicide detectives. Then a hail of bullets destroyed the lives of two fellow cops, and Carl—who didn’t draw his weapon—blames himself. So a promotion is the last thing he expects. But Department Q is a department of one, and Carl’s got only a stack of cold cases for company. His colleagues snicker, but Carl may have the last laugh, because one file keeps nagging at him: a liberal politician vanished five years earlier and is presumed dead. But she isn’t dead...yet.

Darkly humorous, propulsive, and atmospheric, The Keeper of Lost Causes introduces American readers to the mega-bestselling series fast becoming an international sensation.

The Keeper of Lost Causes. Excellent rad.

Mystery fans have to read this series. Jussi Adler—Olsen has created an unforgettable cast of characters in the detectives of Department Q. The plots are interesting and involving while the settings are diverse. I await the books in this series with impatience to enjoy the adventures and interactions of these masters of detection one more time.

The Keeper of Lost Causes. I loved this book! Will read more by this author.

The keeper of lost causes. A most satisfying thriller!

The Keeper of Lost Causes. One of the most well written books I have ever read. Kept the reader involved with the characters throughout. 5 STARS from me!!

Great book!. I enjoyed this book tremendously and only wish my brother David was here to share it with. Great book!

The keeper of lost causes. Terrific! Interesting,entertaining and suspenseful. An outstanding read.

Read in 28hrs. From beginning to end I could not put this book down. The story line is great and the characters are very entertaining. I've been looking for a good thriller since reading the millennium trilogy over a year ago and finally I found one. Can't wait to read the next book.

Great read. The book started off a little slow but was captivating once the story got going. The love of siblings is unlike any other love.

Top Notch. This is a such a good book I cannot recommend it enough. Riveting, thought provoking and at times a sense of humor. A true page turner

The Keeper of Lost Causes. by: luisa. excellently written. can't put it down. will be looking for more from this writer.

The keeper of Lost Causes. Excellent read, could not put the book down once it hooked me in to the mystery and twisting plot.

Very, very highly recommended.. Very well written, gripping, and charming. Wonderful characters and a great story - I will be looking forward to more books by this author!

The keeper of lost causes. Keeps you on the edge of your seat... A terrific crime story. An enchanting mixture of developed characters playing off one another - humorous - everyone's foibles revealed - perfection.

Excellent; intense. This was a great read. As an American who has never traveled to Scandinavia, it was a little hard to get started with, much in the same way as "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" was - but well worth the investment of time. Great characters; very complex; injured people following through in disturbed and evil ways. Morck and his sidekick were great - I hope to see them again.

The Keeper of Lost Causes. Well written thriller from beginning to end...liked the main characters , couldn't put it down

Superb. Superb thriller

The keeper of lost causes. A little slow at the beginning and then the story captures you.

Exceptional. Great fun. Maybe a little slow at first but it really builds momentum. Am looking forward to reading more by this author. It is a disservice to compare the author to Stieg Larsson. Although I'm also a fan of Larsson this writer is quite different. This book is less Scandi-noir & violent and Adler-Olsen invests his main characters with humor. The plotting is excellent and you don't have to ignore some of the preposterousness of the "tattoo" books. I couldn't help but think what a great movie "Keeper" would make. Then I read on IMDB that such a movie exists. Hurry up Netflix get it in your system!

The keeper of lost causes. Great read!

Unbelievably creative novel. It is a mystery novel where the mystery is far less important than the wonderfully creative characters at the center of this story. This book was full of humor, terror, excitement, and love. It pulled every emotional string in my body. It was a wonderful story. I cannot imagine how this writer can possibly equal this book in the next one that is published in the US, but I sure am going to be looking for it. Shame on the publisher for not having his previous books published here. Did I say that I loved this book? West palm Beach, FL

Awesome. Love all of the Dept Q stories - great story lines, character, and that touch of human contact and humor - can't out the book down once you get started. I will put Jussi right up there with Jo Nesbo .

Beach noir. Not bad if you’re looking for a Nordic police procedural. I found the social commentary a bit forced (but maybe that’s because I’m not familiar with Danish politics). Otherwise, it was good beach reading.

The Keeper of Lost Causes. I just finished reading this book in German, and I cannot wait to read another one of Jussi Adler-Olson's crime novels. Especially those that deal with the antagonist in the story.

Keeper of Lost Causes. This book started out agonizingly slow. Once it got going it was terrific. Very good police procedural with a lot of personal touches. Great suspenseful ending, that I couldn't read fast enough!

Awesome!. Great story that takes you to the dark side of people's minds. edgy characters with a less than perfect detective and his less than qualified assistant.

This is a great read!. Couldn't put the book down...excellent thriller...can't wait to read more from this author.

The Keeper of Lost Causes. Fabulous.....when will we see more in electronic format from this author?

The keeper of lost causes. A superbly done thriller! Five stars.

The Keeper of Lost Causes. This is an outstanding book!!!! I absolutely loved reading this! Carl is an awesome and hilarious detective. The story was fantastic! I greatly enjoyed reading this, and will now read all of this author’s books!!
