While tapping into her stores of coolness and reserve to help navigate a decidedly delicate dispute, moral philosopher Isabel Dalhousie and her husband Jamie will together be dealing with tricky personal issues of their own. - Random House, Inc.
Everyoneâs favorite moral philosopher and amateur sleuth, Isabel Dalhousie, is back and once again finds herself facing a number of tricky situations and philosophical questions, both public and private.
âMcCall Smithâs assessments of fellow humans are piercing and profound . . . [His] depictions of Edinburgh are vivid and seamless.â âSan Francisco Chronicle
It seems as if Isabelâs life has fallen into a comfortable and tidy rhythm. Well, as tidy as things can be with two small boys wreaking havoc around the house. But when her husband, Jamie, invites a woman named Dawnârecently embroiled in a contentious affair with a member of Jamieâs orchestraâto stay with them, things begin to go awry. Strange noises can be heard from the upper floor, even when Dawn is supposedly at work, and the couple wonders whether something more nefarious may be afoot.
If that werenât enough, Professor Robert Lettuce is staging an academic conference and has asked Isabel to publish the conference papers in a special issue of the Review of Applied Ethics. But something is definitely suspect about the funding, and it will be up to Isabel to sort it out. As the truth comes to light, Isabel must once more rely on her kindness, powers of deduction and philosophical expertise to navigate these sensitive matters.
