Despite the gruesome background this book tells us about, I laughed several times while reading. Only because of the comments that Carl makes on the habits of his assistants Assad and Rose. (I'll be adding a quote a bit later.)

The way of thinking of Carl is now familiar, so reading that he hates to get a new case, that he'd rather put his feet up on his desk and take a nap is not very interesting.
What shook me is the frightning picture that was shown, of racists, people who think they can and must try to shape society after their ideas. Ideas that are eerily sounding like what the Nazi's did. It frightened me so much, because it could be reality for all I know. I don't hope so, but who knows? There are lots of things happening that ordinary people have no idea of.

Such a good, realistic, absorbing read, that it took me only one day to read it and be very impressed.
I surely don't hope this is the last 'Q'-book: I am getting to like the very unusual main characters :-) ( )
