Q novels! They really are intense, and I love the characters. Alphabet House was his first novel and is very different. jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-9618268238508661862015-02-22T11:48:27.680-06:002015-02-22T11:48:27.680-06:00I think this author can really do suspense well.

Both Bryan and James had to keep silent all the time; James could speak German, but speaking might lead to verbal mistakes. Bryan couldn't even understand what was being said.jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-90450573833569430312015-02-19T07:35:03.316-06:002015-02-19T07:35:03.316-06:00None of will ever get to all of the books that sou... None of will ever get to all of the books that sound interesting! We can only give it our best effort and forgive ourselves for not being able to read everything on our TBR lists. ;p<br /><br />If you get a chance to read a Dept.

Especially the Dept. Q series. Another friend has spoken very highly of it. This one sounds horrible - not the book - the situation. I'm not ever going to get to all these books, am I?

Parts of it were really difficult--the idea of being trapped as a patient in that asylum was almost incomprehensible. Also interesting was Adler-Olsen's comments that his father was a psychiatrist and that as a child he had wondered about what would happen if a sane person was kept for a lengthy period in such an environment. jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-32633435758784821092015-02-18T08:18:13.149-06:002015-02-18T08:18:13.149-06:00I enjoyed reading this so much!
