Liked it. It was in so far different that not the cold case was focussed on but the current cases that might or might not be linked to the cold case.

Also, learned something about Rose’s history.

After feeling a bit let down by the previous two books in the series, I was pleasantly surprised by how gripping this one turned out to be—it truly had me hooked!

That said, one thing that continues to bother me about the series is how the culprits’ stories end. Their fates often feel a bit underwhelming—either they escape, or meet their end in a way that’s surprisingly uneventful, or sometimes both. Considering how dark and brutal their actions often are, I find myself wishing for a more fitting resolution—something that really delivers a sense of justice.

I need to he honest. I watched the Netflix series first and because I truly loved it I decided to read at least the first book by Jussi Adler-Olsen.

Of course, the series is based on the novel. Some corner stones are the same but the original story is definitely something completely different.

So much better. I couldn’t put it away.

I already started with book number two.

Loved reading this book. Bought a signed copy in the Jack, The Ripper Museum. Loved reading it although it was quite challenging as a fluent but non-native speaker.

Nonetheless, I thought the ending a bit flat and even cheesy.

Still admired the different approach and learning about the time. Worth reading it.

The last two to three books of the series are .. well, not as thrilling as the first ones.

In the beginning I couldn’t put away the books but at one point they lost the charisma. The last two books especially felt like a dread to read and I constantly wished to get to the end already. Oftentimes the author got lost in some conspiracy theories and then in some esoteric universes before writing down endless lists of whatever. As interesting as you would read grocery shopping lists.

Anyhow, the end was to be expected and not very suprising.

Not sure if I will regret buying the sequel „The Edinburgh Files“.

Since the first books have been really fun to read and the last two were only medoicre I rate them with 4 stars.

Since it is a 8 book series I will keep my review short and add a full review with the 8th book of the entire series

Book 3 is all about David getting used to his „energy“ and „power“. I find it a bit of a nuisance the way he acts. In this book even Jessica acted stupid which you wouldn’t think of a Dream Dancer with her experience and expertise.

Nonetheless, it keeps you reading and you want to know what this is all about.
