Jussi Adler-Olsen has written 11 novels in his noir crime series with the first book being The Keeper of Lost Causes. Not all are translated to English as of yet.

This is coming to Netflix on May 29th. There will be 8 episodes per IMDb but others say 9 episodes. As I understand, this location has changed from Copenhagen, Denmark, in the book, to Edinburgh, Scotland in the series. The series is in English.

I read this book years ago and remember liking it, but I never read any more of the series. Maybe now is the time to catch that series up.

I read 4 of the Q series last year and gave 2 of them 5 stars. In my review, I said I plan to watch the movie the following weekend. Whether I did or not, I have no idea!
Maybe a slight recall of not enjoying it as much as the books - sometimes the characters they choose don't fit what you had pictured. But like I said, I was referring to a movie then, and not this series. Very curious.

Karen I think we read the first book in another group. I just didn't go any further in the series. Maybe I will book #2 read before this series starts?

Started May 29th on Netflix. It now says there are 9 episodes instead of the 8 showing before.
