Best estimate, compiled from series guides, publisher descriptions and reviews where available, and from memory otherwise. Book level only, not chapter level. Minor includes cameos and brief references. Each book carries a confidence rating in its tooltip. The spreadsheet lists Ditte Guldberg; Egholm's journalist is Dicte Svendsen. Danish titles are given where there is no English edition, and years are a best estimate.
