The comforts of a muddy Saturday - Alexander McCall Smith

ISABEL DALHOUSIE - Book 5

Nothing captures the charm of Edinburgh like the bestselling Isabel Dalhousie series of novels featuring the insatiably curious philosopher and woman detective.
Whether investigating a case or a problem of philosophy, the indefatigable Isabel Dalhousie, one of fiction's most richly developed amateur detectives, is always ready to pursue the answers to all of life's questions, large and small.

In the delectable fifth installment of the bestselling adventures of Isabel Dalhousie,
our cherished inquisitive heroine returns to investigate a medical mystery.

A doctor's
career has been ruined by allegations of medical fraud and Isabel cannot ignore what
may be a miscarriage of justice.
Besides, Isabel's insatiable interest is piqued
and she finds herself asking questions. Would a respected doctor make such a grave
mistake? If not, what explains the death of the patient? Clearly, an investigation
is in order.

Meanwhile, there is her baby Charlie, who needs looking after; her
niece Cat who needs someone to mind her deli; and a mysterious composer who has latched
on to Jamie, making Isabel decidedly uncomfortable. Whatever the problem, whatever
the case, we know we can count on Isabel's instincts to help her find the right solution.
