From the beloved and best-selling author of the number one Ladies' Detective Agency series comes a lighthearted, comedic novel about a Swedish police department tasked with solving the most unusual, complicated, and, often, insignificant crimes.

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.

I always enjoy Alexander McCall Smith’s stories this one did not disappoint. I can’t wait to listen the next one.

A little difficult to get into

The smile never left my face throughout this spoof on life, culture and detection. Alexander McCall Smith delivers a light-hearted look at our situation, which is nevertheless penetrating. David Rintoul narrates with complete alignment to the vision - a delight. Thank you both!

A Compassionate Sense of Humor

I hated this book at the beginning and was too lazy to send it back, so I kept listening and I started to like it a little more, but it’s a cross between annoying and quirky.

Very quirky story

Quirky characters and unusual “cases” add up to a very appealing, low-key book. Think of it as the antidote to too many graphic crime novels. The writing and narration are both very good. The book has both humor and pathos. Musings like “Life is a progression of partings” could be depressing in the hands of a less skilled writer, but here they are not. I hope for more books in this series.

Really enjoyed the book. Wondering if Smith was inspired by vacation or job in Sweden. Nice peaceful mystery with lots of introspective narrative.

Sweden is a long way from Botswana

The author just rambles. The characters just ramble. This book needed a good editor. The story might have been interesting. I'm not really sure what the story is about. I don't think the author knows. I do not recommend this book.

It's all over the place

The story is probably good, but couldn't hear the reader's words even with sound fully turned up.

Couldn't hear the reader, but classic story.

Gentle stories with a little sting in them. I enjoyed the male reader's voice and pronunciation of Swedish names. I look forward to reading or listening to the second book in the series.

Good bedtime stories
