In the hilarious new novel in the best-selling Detective Varg series, an eminent art historian is framed and the ace investigators of the department of sensitive crimes are on the case.
Detective Ulf Varg is a man of refined tastes and quite familiar with the art scene in Malmö. So when art historian Anders Kindgren visits the Department of Sensitive Crimes to report a series of bizarre acts that have been committed against him, Ulf and his team swing into action. Fish stuffed into the vents of Kindgren’s car and a manipulated footnote in a recent publication would be cause enough for an investigation, but when a painting Kindgren had confidently appraised as genuine is later declared to be a fake, it’s clear that someone is out to tarnish his reputation.
Meanwhile, Ulf is also weathering personal issues, which quickly spiral out of control. When his lip-reading dog, Martin, engages in a contretemps with a squirrel that results in a grievous wound, Ulf must rush Martin to the veterinarian and weigh the merits of cosmetic surgery for animals. And later, when Martin’s blood is found in the back of Ulf’s classic Saab, Ulf finds himself the subject of a departmental investigation.
In the end, Ulf will have to muster all his detective skills and bureaucratic cunning to restore Kindgren’s reputation - as well as his own.

The narrator’s voice is soporific. Droning on. I listened to am immensely tedious discussion among the protagonist’s colleagues about “ Siamese twins” that followed from someone harming Siamese cats while trying to steal them for resale. Laff riot! Not. It’s offensive when most people know that modern medicine refers to these people as conjoined twins. Then we are treated to more animal cruelty as the detective slowly drives his injured dog to a vet while calmly philosophizing about the likelihood of the bleeding dog dying enroute.
Wordy, boring, and not amusing. Horrible, in fact.
More convinced than ever that the author blew his creative wad inventing Precious Ramotswe and the series I love. This is the second other unrelated series of his I have tried. The tedious Scottish one is merely boring. This one is nasty.
