This is the first novel in the Detective Varg series by McCall Smith. It's lighthearted (as much as a mystery novel can be), and the polar-opposite of nordic noir. The novel is written as a series of short stories, and it was a very quick read. Half of me thinks that this was written purely as a satire of nordic noir, without grisly deaths and violence against women.
I received this book from the Penguin First to Read program (RIP).

Grey is great!
This is my second Isabelle Grey book and once again I really enjoyed this book. It was fast-paced, interesting with good characters and dynamics. The story was well-thought out and intricate with a whole web of people involved. The only bad point was that Grace seemed to come up with a lot of the answers with very little evidence but maybe she is just a good detective.
