Summary:"In this latest installment of the beloved Isabel Dalhousie series, Isabel finds herself navigating tricky problems both public and personal "McCall Smith's assessments of fellow humans are piercing and profound ... [His] depictions of Edinburgh are vivid and seamless."--San Francisco Chronicle Isabel Dalhousie, everyone's favorite moral philosopher, is once again called on to help navigate a decidedly delicate dispute with all of the insight and compassion she has become known for. What makes Isabel's investigations so unique is her uncanny ability to view all sides of a situation with coolness and reserve - and she will tap deep into her stores of both in order to help see this one through. Meanwhile, Isabel and her husband Jamie will together be dealing with tricky personal issues of their own. Philosophical observations and humorous asides abound in this fifteenth installment of the beloved series"--
