Döden går på visning

I got some Robert Thorogood/Death in Paradise vibes from this. The male MC was a bit like a hot and not as neurotic version of Richard Pool, Vinston has loafers and socks (”…because he wasn’t a barbarian.”) to the beach, he doesn’t like dog/cat hair, has an animal house mate against his wishes ect. And a bit fish out of water as he’s from Stockholm and down in Skåne but it got a little much for me. Like the male MC gets lost on his way to visit his ex wife and daughter and when female MC finds him her first words are, “You look like you’re lost. From Stockholm?”. Are there that many people from Stockholm getting lost in Skåne in the summers? There’s not from any other parts of the country?

Why did I not like this more? Didn’t really feel the MC’s, they are not unlikable but I didn’t really care about them or their families. They fell kind of flat.

There were puzzle pieces and I have read a few cozies without any clues so I did appreciate that (but that’s like the bare minimum) but the murder wasn’t that fun or creative.
