Selfiet

The Scarred Woman is the seventh book in the Department Q series, a series which I love more and more the deeper into it I get.
This one is far darker than its predecessors, and more personal for Carl, Assad and Gordon, as their colleague Rose has a breakdown. We finally get Rose's backstory and the truth about what happened the day her father died.
Alongside this, there is the investigation into the murders of young women in Copenhagen, and the murder of an elderly woman that has parallels with the murder of a substitute teacher some 16 years previously.
There's a lot going on in The Scarred Woman, and a lot of characters to keep track of, but it all ties up nicely. All in all an enjoyable, gripping read.
