Summary
Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of Buried, the fifth installment of the Department Q series by Jussi Adler-Olsen, read by Steven Pacey.
More than three years ago, a civil servant vanished after returning from a work trip to Africa. Though he's missing and presumed dead, the man's family still want answers.
It is one of the many unsolved crimes left for Department Q, Denmark's cold-case unit headed up by Detective Carl Morck.
But what Carl doesn't know is that the key to the investigation is in Copenhagen. Fifteen-year-old Marco Jameson is tough, smart, and suspicious of police. Sleeping rough and hiding in the shadows is his way of life. But what is he running from - and what does he know worth killing him for?
Please note: This book has also been published under the alternate title The Marco Effect.

Excellent performance - good storyline
An absorbing read with plenty of suspense. Stephen Pacey does a good job on the narration. Highly recommended

Brilliant Book, Superb Narrator
What did you like most about Buried?
The human and realistic stories within the narrative and the humour contained in the developing relationships between Carl and his assistants Assad (who's story is being revealed bit by bit book by book) and the quirky Rose.
What other book might you compare Buried to, and why?
All five of the Department Q books are in a league of their own - well-crafted and off-setting any grimness with moments of laughter. I haven't read any other murder mysteries that can compare. Steven Pacey's rendition really brings life to the characters.
Have you listened to any of Steven Pacey’s other performances? How does this one compare?
All Department Q books are brilliantly read by Steven Pacey. His use of different voices and dialects makes it is easy to recognise the individual characters and Carl, Assad, Rose and Carl's 'house guests' have developed into real personalities through the excellent narration. I will certainly seek out more narrated by Mr Pacey!
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes, but I tried to pace myself as I never want any Department Q book to end!!
Any additional comments?
Please Mr Adler-Olsen write more Department Q books and, whoever makes the decision, please please use Steven Pacey as the narrator. After 5 books he is the only true voice for Department Q. I am horrified to see that someone different is reading Book 6 and having read at least 30 Audible reviews for Book 6 I will sadly not be buying the Audio version :(

Good listen but not up to previous stories
I was looking forward to this new audio book but it is overlong. The story is good, but does not have the gripping power of the last 4 books. On saying that it is a good listen and I will certainly listen to book 6 when it comes out, just a bit disappointed with this story.

Exceptional story telling.
Well worth the credit, Jussi Adler-Olsen is gifted. Department Q is the best crime series I've encountered for donkey's years. Long may it continue. Steven Pacey brings the characters alive wonderfully.

Brilliant. Exceptional series continues.
As soon as I saw there was a new book it was downloaded. Not disappointed . The standard is fabulous. One of the best series of books for maintaining plot, characterisation and story.

All round excellent.
Would make a good read too as all the department Q novels. Only problems is that they tend to keep me awake if I listen at night. compelling and addictive with plenty of humour. Great entertainment.

AS GOOD AS ALL HIS OTHER BOOKS
Where does Buried rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
To be honest any Jussi Adler Olsen book rates high for me, this one is up there with Mercy. Another audiobook that I could not stop listening to. The action; all the twists and turns, do not stop. The narrator, Steven Pacey, is, as usual, brilliant at brining the book alive. He gives a unique voice to each character, literally and metaphorically
Who was your favorite character and why?
My favourite character has to be Carl, followed by Marco in this book. Each has his flaws and strong points that makes each one so believable
What does Steven Pacey bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
Any book that Steven Pacey reads will be brought to life - he could even do great things for an instruction manual! You have the impression he understand each character. Audiobooks have the disadvantage of outside distrations unless you are wearing earphones so a good narrator is essential, especially with a book that has many characters and story threads
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Marco is looking to make the impossible, possible. Can Carl and the team see through the smoke in time
