For philosophically minded Isabel Dalhousie, editor of the Review of Applied
Ethics, getting through life with a clear conscience requires careful thought.
And with the arrival of baby Charlie, not to mention a passionate relationship
with his father Jamie, fourteen years her junior, Isabel enters deeper and
rougher waters.
Late motherhood is not the only challenge facing Isabel. Even as she
negotiates a truce with her furious niece Cat, and struggles for authority
over her son with her formidable housekeeper Grace, Isabel finds herself drawn
into the story of a painter's mysterious death off the island of Jura. Perhaps
most seriously of all, Isabel's professional existence and that of her beloved
Review come under attack from the machiavellian and suspiciously handsome
Professor Dove.
A master storyteller whether debating ethics in Edinburgh or pursuing lady
detectives in Africa, here Alexander McCall Smith is as witty and wise as his
irresistibly spirited heroine.
