Alexander McCall Smith presents an antidote to the Tartan Noir genre that he calls ‘Scandi Blanc’, featuring Detective Ulf Varg in Malmö’s Department of Sensitive Crimes. Add in a new 44 Scotland Street novel, playful adventures in The Second Worst Restaurant in France, and a handpicked anthology of Scottish poems and you have the recipe for an intoxicating hour with Scotland’s most charming writer.
