A review by jmclincoln
The Man with the Silver Saab by Alexander McCall Smith

5.0

What a delicate, gentle story. I loved Ulf’s interior dialogue with himself. He was always trying to be a better man, and he was trying to see himself in the contemporary Sweden, not the one of his boyhood. The Department of Sensitive Crimes once again had a quiet, delicate case to solve. In fact, Ulf had to first decide if he in deed had a case. And poor Martin, Ulf’s deaf dog. He had a terrible run in with a squirrel from which Martin came out the worse. In this troubling time of “tribal” animosity and the pandemic effect, I so needed this wonderful story. Spending time with Ulf Varg is time well spent.
