This is the best of the three films in my opinion, it is not darker as such, off course the fact that its about kids getting taken is just not very nice to think about, but the cases they are working on are dark and we are beginning to know the characters and their different persona's and they really capture many great aspects of the characters and their interaction with other people.
I haven't read any of the books, but based on my wife's explanation, this is also the best adaption of the books, they are still changing things and making it more viewer friendly, but that's how it is.
Serial killers are always strange and dark, but this one is very well portrayed by Pål Sverre Hagen, he really seems like this nice guy, good looking (a Norwegian Ryan Gosling),well spoken, calm and trustworthy. But deep down he is just a bad bad man, with a terrible past and a twisted mind.

A bad bad man, with a terrible past and a twisted mind
Last of the Department Q trilogy
A CONSPIRACY OF FAITH is the last of the DEPARTMENT Q trilogy; these are Danish crime thrillers which are just as dark and gritty as THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO. This one's all about religious themes, such as faith and fanatics, and once again there are grisly murders taking place for our leads to investigate. I found it a noticeable step down in quality from the previous entry in the series, lacking the pace and suspense that made the first two films more than watchable.
This time around, the characters seem to be going through the motions without adding anything much in the way that's new. The gloomy atmosphere seems stronger than ever, sapping the film of life and sentiment, and there's a lot of wasted time in between the admittedly good set-pieces; the hospital sequence is a highlight here. At least the main cast members continue to give solid performances, with Fares Fares shining in particular.
Better believe
It might seem that there is a decline in the movies, but this is still rock solid. I can only imagine that the book is even more than that. It has characters from the previous movies (and books of course) and has a case that is pretty strong. You don't have the urgent feeling and the playfulness it had in the previous movies. As dark as they got, you always had something light in them.
That's almost missing entirely here. There's still character moments, but strings and things are being said and left on the sideline without giving them a resolution. It's a shame, but the movie is packed so much, that some things have not the punch they deserved to have and should have had. Still the movie and especially the villain are great. And it's not so much about who it is, but why he is and where and how to find him ...
