Sort of soap operaish. Definitely not like No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency. About an assortment of people in one area in modern Edinburgh and how they learn and cope with life.

This is a novel from the bestselling author of The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency, Alexander McCall Smith...suspenseful until the end with incredible description.

This is no Ladies Detective Agency, but it is a really interesting insight into modern Edinburgh. Originally published as a serial in "The Scotsman" newspaper, this feels like a serial, but a very intriguing one. I'd recommend it for novices in modern Scottish literature, and I imagine it'd be a fun read for actual Scots, as well.
