The Department of Sensitive Crimes - Alexander McCall Smith
She read
Publication Date: April 16, 2019
The Department of Sensitive Crimes in Malmo, Sweden is comprised of three detectives and a clerk and deals with unusual transgressions requiring utmost discretion. The crimes range from a man stabbed in the back of the knee to possible missing persons to strange occurrences at a spa owned by the police commissioner’s cousin.
The characters are quirky; the conversations often inane, but with profound life observations smattered here and there, as well as some laugh out loud moments. While no one character is quite as charming as Precious Ramotse of this author’s No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency series, there is potential. Fans of McCall Smith’s gentle prose and perceptive musings will welcome this latest endeavor.
