This is another book in the Isabel Dalhousie series, which I absolutely adore. Dalhousie's son Charlie is a young toddler now, and her boyfriend continues to live with the two of them. Isabel is once again asked to help someone in a tricky situation, although this time the person asking for help (Minty from an earlier book.) appears to have an ulterior motive. Isabel continues to face moral conundrums.
I love the intelligent humor in the Dalhousie books, and this one continues that tradition. Where else can you read about funambulism and escapeology?
McCall Smith is a clean writer, which I always appreciate, in spite of the fact that Isabel and Michael are "living in sin" as Grace the housekeeper says.
This book is definitely worth the time. McCall Smith always delivers an enjoyable read!
