Synopsis

The author of the bestselling No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency mysteries shifts venue from Gaborone, Botswana, to Edinburgh, Scotland in this first volume of a new series. Isabel Dalhousie, a wealthy academic spinster who edits an ethics journal, uses her extensive education in philosophy to inform her every decision, including her involvement in things which are not quite her business. First and foremost, she is attempting to reunite her niece Cat with Cat's ex-boyfriend Jamie, a young man Isabel considers eminently suitable and is actually half in love with herself. She has also taken on a potentially dangerous task: having witnessed a young man's fatal plunge from the upper tier of a concert hall, she is trying to determine just how and why he died.
