Critics Review
McCall Smith’s continuing warm-heartedness makes Ulf such unfailingly good company - Reader’s Digest
Wonderfully soothing and relaxing … while McCall Smith’s world may be a highly selective reshaping of the real one, he has the creative power to make it seem, in its quiet way, truer than truth … it left me with a warm glow that lasted through several news bulletins - TelegraphHeaven is in the detail with this sort of escapist writing. It’s like AA Milne meets Karl Ove Knausgaard. McCall Smith knows how to create a world full of sweet things and emotionally true moments and in this new series of “Scandi blanc” delivers exactly what his fans will be hoping for - Financial TimesAbout The Author
