On Living Ethically

Date of Review:  Dec 31, 2007
The Bottom Line: Friends, Lovers, Chocolate is charming as ethical discourse. As a mystery novel, it doesn't quite satisfy.
Review: Friends, Lovers, Chocolate by Alexander McCall Smith is the second in a series of three (so far) novels featuring Isabel Dalhousie, editor of the Review of Applied Ethics.

Set in the city of Edinburgh, this slim volume is a delightful...

Soft Males and Soft Mysteries, but still Enjoyable

Date of Review:  Mar 21, 2006
The Bottom Line: Still worth reading because of McCall Smith's style, humour, and quirkiness.
Review: In McCall Smith s No 1 Ladies Detective Agency series, in 44 Scotland St (to which he s now written a sequel), and also in his newer series, The Sunday Philosophy Club, his main characters are all women. Furthermore, his male characters have what...

Paperback, Friends, Lovers, Chocolate
The delightful second installment in Alexander McCall Smith's already hugely popular new detective series, The Sunday Philosophy Club, starring the irrepressibly curious Isabel Dalhousie - editor of the Journal of Applied Ethics - and her no-nonsense housekeeper, Grace. When Isabel's niece, Cat, asks Isabel to run her delicatessen while she attends a wedding in Italy, Isabel meets a man with a most interesting problem. He recently had a heart transplant, and is suddenly plagued with memories of events that never happened to him. The situation appeals to Isabel as a philosophical question. Is the heart truly the seat of the soul? And it piques her insatiable curiosity: could the memories be connected with the donor's demise? Grace, of course, thinks it is none of Isabel's business. Add to the mix the lothario Cat brings home from the wedding in Italy, who, in accordance with all that Isabel knows about lotharios, shouldn't be trusted...but goodness, he is charming. That makes two mysteries of the heart to ...
