Summary

A USA Today bestseller

From internationally best-selling author Alexander McCall Smith, creator of The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, comes a new mystery series brimming with the same wit and charm. Isabel Dalhousie is a philosopher by training, and an amateur sleuth by choice. When a young man falls from a balcony to his death, Isabel does not believe it was an accident. Plunging deep into the shady business community of Edinburgh, she is determined to root out the truth.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“This book is a clear demonstration of Mr. McCall Smith’s own philosophy: that there is wisdom in inviting readers into a world of kindness and gentility and creature comforts. Offer the literary equivalent of herbal tea and a cozy fire. They’ll come back for more.” —New York Times
“Glows like a rare jewel.” —Entertainment Weekly
“A plucky new series by a master of local color.” —Barnes & Noble, editorial review
“Murder and moral obligation mingle in this whimsical new series…Scotland’s climate may be misty and cool, but McCall Smith’s charming prose warms every page of this winning series debut.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Davina Porter creates a wonderful range of Scottish accents and delivers a fine-tuned narration…Porter’s varying tone and pacing keep the listener involved, and her interpretation of well-born but broadminded Isabel is adroit.” —AudioFile
