De: Jussi Adler-Olsen, Caroline Waight - translator

Narrado por: Steven Pacey

The New York Times and #1 internationally bestselling Department Q series comes to a thrilling conclusion when the team must turn inward to solve the cold case that has put their own leader behind bars, a place where his enemies are plentiful and time is quickly running out.

On the day after Christmas, head of Department Q, Detective Carl Mørck, finds himself handcuffed in a police car headed for Copenhagen's Vestre prison. After fifteen years, a violent case from his past has caught up with him. Charges of drug trafficking and murder threaten to destroy his life and career. But he is being framed. Someone has a million-dollar bounty on his head to make sure he doesn't talk, putting him in grave danger among the prison's incarcerated criminals and corrupt officers. The question that remains is, Why?

Carl's colleagues at the Copenhagen Police Department instantly turn their backs on him, leaving the ever-loyal Department Q team as his only hope. In search of answers, Rose, Assad, and Gordon must disobey direct orders from way up the chain to try to unravel the case. With only one another to trust and Carl's battle against the unknown mastermind's henchmen worsening by the day, they must work faster than ever before if they are to clear his name—and save his life.

Fantastic Finale

I am going to miss the hell outta these characters, and their exploits!! One of my all time fave mystery series, and the way the author brought everything full circle was simply beautiful…. Only bad thing about entire series was the near constant change of narrators…. Pronunciations and accents kept changing….

Excellent plot

Excellent plot and narration couldn’t stop listening Hope there will be more books written with all characters

Is this the last?

As usual, an excellent book that you can’t put down, but I am sad thinking that this was the last one, if as indicated at the end

Narrator is different

While the story was compelling this male narrator can’t do female voices very well and most of the other voices sound like a Peter Lorre impersonation especially the gangster criminals
All-a Casablanca or the Maltese Falcon.

Repeat offender- in all the right ways!

Jussi Adler Olsen has once again written a spectacular page turner featuring Department Q. It might be my favorite! Highly recommend the entire series.

The character consistency

A bit long in some explanations. This is a complex story. While the detail was necessary, it was also tedious

Fabulous!

Great book! Complex with a lot of characters and relationships, so you have to pay attention. this narrator was ok, but I do like the other narrator (Graeme Malcolm) better.

Only one drawback, well maybe two

Okay, to be fair, this one of those books that any Dept. Q fan will love. And the aspect of an historic investigator thrown in prison may also appeal to an even larger audience. I do believe they will love this book even without the “devotion to Adler-Olsen” pre-req. However, I do recommend starting from the beginning forward in order to allow for the revolution of these characters evident in Locked In. Okay, drawbacks: narration did not have enough variety to let me know which supporting characters were speaking in just a couple of scenes. Drawback two: the book started wrapping up about halfway through. Again and finally: PLEASE START EARLIER IN THE SERIES. I yield back my time, enjoy!

What will I do without Department Q

I have loved each and every book in this series, I feel like I know them all. This was a fitting conclusion of the story behind the series. I did get a bit confused at the plot, but was happy and laughing at Assad and his coffee, his blunders in the English language, and when his son began to talk again that was fantastic.....A rich and rewarding send off to the characters we have become so attached to. I waited patiently for this book also, worth it. I will miss them all. Thank you for this series, I am waiting for more......whatever comes from Jussi I will read.

Excellent conclusion.

Will not disappoint in the least. Really enjoyed the reintroduction of former characters. narration, plot, and pace perfect.
