The first in an Isabel Dalhousie mystery series. Well read. Alexander McCall Smith's writing is for those of us who enjoy character as it is revealed through the minutia of daily life. There is humor and a mystery - but no real action and adventure. A cozy.

Isabel Dalhousie is a philospher by training, and an amateur sleuth by choice. When a young man falls from a balcony to his death, Isabel's curiousity is aroused. She does not believe the fall was an accident, and she is determined to root out the truth. With a little help from some friends, Isabel plunges deep into the shady business community of Edinburgh to find some answers.
