Catchy storytelling
Wonderfully Cheesy
I started this book not knowing what to expect, rather expecting not to like it. I was more than pleasantly surprised by how enthralled I became. This book is satire science fiction at its finest. The story is amusing and quick paced. It will keep you going page after page wondering what will happen next. Though some parts are given away early in the book, Hubbard finds a way to make the known events interesting.

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).
