“Doctor Proctor’s Fart Powder” is a darkly comedic mystery series by Jo Nesbo, drawing on the historical meaning of “doctor” as a teacher and scholar. The books feature a somewhat eccentric medical professional, utilizing unconventional methods – specifically, a potent, and surprisingly effective, fart powder – to solve crimes. With a tone reminiscent of classic detective fiction, the series distinguishes itself through its absurdist premise and Proctor’s delightfully peculiar approach to investigation.
