Summary
Isabel Dalhousie applies her moral philosopher's mind to wrongdoings in Edinburgh and will have to call upon her powers of deduction and her unflappable moral code to unravel another social mystery in the new novel from the best-selling author of the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series.
In Edinburgh, rumours and gossip abound. But Isabel knows very well that such things can't be taken at face value. Still, the latest whispers hint at mysterious goings-on, and who but Isabel can be trusted to get to the bottom of it?
Meanwhile, she must also deal with the demands of two small children, her lovely husband and her rather tempestuous niece, Cat, whose latest romantic entanglement comes with some new complications. Still, even with so much to juggle, Isabel, through the application of good sense, logic and ethics, will, as always, navigate a way through.

Beautiful book.
Excellent and erudite as expected from Alexander mccall smith but narrator's style rather irritating.

Over the years, I've read or listened to the series from the start.

Disappointment
The plot was difficult to get into and this was not helped by a boring narrator. No portrayal voice vor different characters which did nothing to enhance the story.

Waste of time
Monotonous story droned on and on ! All these wandering thoughts of main character were tortuous. So disappointing compared to his other books.
