I'm not always the biggest fan of Adler-Olsen but this audiobook made me appreciate some nuances and kept me listening.
I liked the narrator that add layers to the story
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher for this ARC, all opinions are mine

I really enjoyed the story, and have quite a few of this series still to read. Narration was fine, if a bit flat. Quite a long audiobook, but I think a plot heavy story like this will always take longer than a dialogue based one.
Overall a great read.

This deliciously twisty story kept me up late at night, desperate to know the outcome. A definite 5 stars

I liked this one. This is an not a new Department Q, rather one where Carl Morck still does not know Assad and Rose's background (and hasn't settled in with the psychologist, Mona).

You are immediately drawn into the lives of a bunch of women all inter-connected by twist of fate, work or relationships. Adler-Olsen uses the buzz hot topic of overburdened social welfare system (and misuse of it) and builds a streak of murders around, over and above it.

It starts off as a police procedural (as all Department Q series books are) but soon enough an uneasy feeling will creep up on you, and tension will get fever pitch by Chapter 37 (when there is still 5 hrs 47 min. left of the audiobook).

Narration by Steven Pacey, in my humble view, is okay but not great (he cannot create difference between female voices and his 'Gordon' sounds awfully like Rose's school friend).

Looking forward to more Department Q. Thanks to the publisher for the ARC.

Scarred Woman is the 7th book in Jussi Adler-Olsen's Department Q series,and this was my first ever Audio Book.

The story begins with the discovery of the body of an elderly woman in a park in Copenhagen that appears to be very similar to an unsolved murder a decade previously.
with young women being attacked on the other side of the city Carl Morck and his Department Q team are under pressure to solve both sets of crimes,past and present. Also struggling with crimes of the past is Department Q regular Rose.

While I enjoyed the story the Audio book format isn't really for me,I read quickly and at over 16 hours I struggled to keep focused on a story that would have taken me 6 hours maximum to read,I also much prefer to have the character's voices in my head and Danish characters having regional English accents didn't work for me.

Enjoyable,but I wish I'd read the book rather than listened to it.

I enjoyed listening to this audio version of the Scarred Women, a book I had first read in 2017. I have read as far as book 9 in the series and stopped as the translation had become pretty bad, some words translated literally so on the whole it didn’t make sense. I also found the same thing with the tv series, the later episodes subtitles were laughable. It’s a shame for me as I really enjoyed the series with its cast of
When the body of an elderly woman is found in a park the murder bears resemblance to a murder some 10 years ago of a girl whose murderer was never found. At the same time a group of women seem to be targeted by a deranged killer. Is it all linked? If that is not enough, Rose, a colleague from Dept Q seems to be having some kind of breakdown and then she vanishes. All in all there are a lot of Scarred Women in this book.
It was great to catch up with Dept Q again and I will definitely look out for more audio books in the series.

Department Q book 7, and another cracking set of seemingly separate, interlinking puzzles, makes for a great listen. For followers of the series, this is a particularly hard time for Rose in particular, which has taken a heavy toll on the team.

With all the usual wit, snark, humour, temper tantrums, and outbursts, along with the emotional highs and lows of previous tales, you'll be gripped by this instalment.
