Department of sensitive things, by Alexander McCall Smith


Having not blogged about this book back which I read a while back, I found it had left virtually no trace in my mind until I reread the jacket blurb.  Smith is a prolific and much beloved author of several different series, and I thoroughly enjoyed his take on Jane Austen’s Emma.  However, other books of his I have read have similarly left my memory almost as soon as I finished them.  If he’s your cup of tea, however, you may enjoy this faux Scandinavian noir mystery featuring Detective Ulf Varg (whose name literally translates as “Wolf Wolf”), the first of yet another proposed series.  240 pp.
