About this listen

The unabridged, digital audiobook edition of Jussi Adler-Olsen’s Disgrace, the second instalment from Scandinavia’s new best-selling crime writing sensation. Read by the actor Steven Pacey.

Kimmie’s home is on the streets of Copenhagen. To live she must steal. She has learned to avoid the police and never to stay in one place for long. But now others are trying to find her. And they won’t rest until she has stopped moving - for good.

Detective Carl of Department Q, the cold cases division, has received a file concerning the brutal murder of a brother and sister 20 years earlier. A group of boarding school students were the suspects at the time - until one of their numbers confessed and was convicted. So why is the file of a closed case on Carl’s desk? Who put it there? Who believes the case is not solved?

A police detective wants to talk to Kimmie and someone else is asking questions about her. They know she carries secrets certain powerful people want to stay buried deep. But Kimmie has one of her own. It’s the biggest secret of them all. And she can’t wait to share it with them….

I love detective, crime and thrillers. But this one is different, s slightly quirky and more interesting story. The narrator is perfect for the style. The characters are easy to know and develop an affinity with. Great read!

Fab read

What made the experience of listening to Disgrace the most enjoyable?

The narrator is pure genius. Love it.

Who was your favorite character and why?

The two main leads are my favourites, although a newcomer who was annoying at first is starting to warm on me as well. The detective and his awesome sidekick. What a pair. Their personalities balance each other out perfectly.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

The scene where Karl comes home and thinks there's a party happening but his step-son and lodger have set up a surround sound system.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Made me laugh in several places due to Karl's dry wit, made me smile at Assad's comments

Any additional comments?

Excellently written, a bit gory, but I listen because I'm now attached to the main characters. I'm looking forward to hearing the whole series.

More of what we love!

Just listened to this a second time as I go through this series again. Bumped it up from four to five stars. You don't realise how good these books are until you hear/read them a second time. Good plots and character development.

Great series

The animal cruelty and rapes stopped this book from being entertaining to me. The narrator was great but the story graphically violent. Stopped listening halfway through.

Too disturbing

I enjoyed the first book but the graffic rapes and bad language in this one were too much for me. I returned the book

Very graffic rapes
