Critics Review
The novels of Alexander McCall Smith aren’t yet prescribed on the NHS, but it might not be a bad idea * Telegraph *Funny, farcical and filled with entertaining musings on human nature… an engaging, richly rewarding escapist read that throngs with mystery, humour and tender observations * LoveReading *Though he has the lightest of touches and is always entertaining, [McCall Smith] is a deeply serious writer who values truth, honesty, sympathy and kindness * Scotsman *A crime ripped from the mind of Mother Goose animates McCall Smith’s witty fourth outing for Swedish police detective Ulf Varg… Ulf and company are extremely pleasant company, lending this farcical mystery all the comforts of a good cozy without most of the clichés, and Smith juggles the various subplots with ease * Publishers Weekly *McCall Smith’s Detective Varg mysteries star a cerebral, conflicted detective in an appealingly oddball police department in Malmö, Sweden… High on comical quirkiness * Booklist *
