It's such a pleasure to read work from a gentle person; he treats humanity so beautifully. ( ) Alas, AMS, I couldn't get into this one. Your tropes are too familiar, your characters too one-note. I will stick with Precious Ramotswe, as we have been together too long to break up now. But re-planting her in different bodies and different climes isn't enough variation for me. My library holds list beckons. I det svenska rättsväsendet betraktas vissa fall som särskilt svåra och egendomliga. För att utreda dessa brott finns en grupp inom polisen i Malmö: Avdelningen för känsliga brott. Det här är deras berättelser. Det första fallet: ett tämligen enkelt ärende gäller en man, knivhuggen i bakre delen av knäet. Vem begår ett sådant brott och varför? Nästkommande fall: en ung kvinnas imaginära pojkvän försvinner. Hur i hela världen eftersöker man en person som inte existerar? Och den slutgiltiga utredningen: otäcka hemligheter som avslöjas under fullmåne verkar inte fullt lika övernaturliga i dagsljus. Inget fall är för ovanligt, för komplicerat eller för betydelselöst för gruppen att lösa. Avdelningen för känsliga brott är en fullspäckad fars skriven av en sann mästare. Digital audiobook narrated by David Rintoul From the book jacket: In Malmo, Sweden, the dedicated detectives who investigate “special” cases are members of an elite squad known as the Sensitive Crimes Division. The first case: a man stabbed in the back of the knee. Next: a young woman’s imaginary boyfriend goes missing. And in the final investigation: eerie secrets that are revealed under a full moon may not seem to supernatural in the light of day. No case is too unusual, too complicated, or too, well, insignificant for this squad to solve. My reactions: Gosh, but I enjoy visiting with Alexander McCall Smith’s characters! This is somewhat of a farce of police procedurals. Detective Ulf “the Wolf” Varg and his team certainly have “interesting” cases. He is the head of this unit but is ably assisted by Anna Bengtsdotter (who loves Varg’s car … and possibly Varg, himself), Carl Holgersson (who actually likes to complete paperwork … go figure), and Erik Nykvist (who seems more interested in fly fishing than detecting). There is no case too strange or confusing for this team. I particularly liked the case of the missing imaginary boyfriend! David Rintoul does a find job of narrating the audiobook. He brings these characters to life and strikes just the right balance between seriousness and tongue-in-cheek commentary. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Appartiene alle SerieDetective Varg (1)
"The detectives who work in Malmo Police's Department of Sensitive Crimes take their job very seriously. The lead detective, Ulf Varg, prioritizes his cases above even his dog's mental health. Then there are detectives Anna Bengsdotter, who keeps her relationship with Varg professional even as she realizes she's developing feelings for him . . . or at least for his car, and Carl Holgersson, first to arrive in the morning and last to leave, who would never read his colleagues' personal correspondence--unless it could help solve a crime, of course. Finally, there's Erik Nykvist, who peppers conversations with anecdotes about fly fishing. Along with an opinionated local police officer named Blomquist, the Department of Sensitive Crimes takes on three extremely strange cases. First, the detectives investigate how and why a local business owner was stabbed . . . in the back of the knee. Next, a young woman's imaginary boyfriend goes missing. And, in the final investigation, Varg must determine whether nocturnal visitations at a local spa have a supernatural element. Using his renowned wit and warmth, Alexander McCall Smith brings a unique perspective on Scandinavian crime. Equal parts hilarious and heartening, The Department of Sensitive Crimes is a tour de farce from a literary master"-- Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
