THE ISABEL DALHOUSIE NOVELS
“The literary equivalent of herbal tea and a cozy fire… McCall Smith’s Scotland [is] well worth future visits.”
—The New York Times
The Sunday Philosophy Club
Volume 1
Isabel Dalhousie is fond of problems, and sometimes she becomes interested in problems that are, quite frankly, none of her business—including some that are best left to the police. Filled with endearingly thorny characters and a Scottish atmosphere as thick as a highland mist, The Sunday Philosophy Club is an irresistible pleasure.
Friends, Lovers, Chocolate
Volume 2
While taking care of her niece Cat’s delicatessen, Isabel meets a heart transplant patient who has had some strange experiences in the wake of his surgery. Against the advice of her housekeeper, Isabel is intent on investigating. Matters are further complicated when Cat returns from vacation with a new boyfriend, and Isabel’s fondness for him lands her in another muddle.
The Right Attitude to Rain
Volume 3
When Isabel’s cousin from Dallas arrives in Edinburgh, she introduces Isabel to a bigwig Texan whose young fiancée may just be after his money. Then there’s her niece, Cat, who’s busy falling for a man whom Isabel suspects of being an incorrigible mama’s boy. Isabel is advised to stay out of it all, but the philosophical issues of these matters of the heart prove too tempting for her to resist.
“Offers tantalizing glimpses of Edinburgh’s complex character and a nice, long look into the beautiful mind of a thinking woman.”
—The New York Times Book Review
The Careful Use of Compliments
Volume 4
There’s a new little Dalhousie on the scene, and while the arrival of Isabel’s son presents her with the myriad wonders of life, it doesn’t diminish her curiosity about other things. While attending an art auction, she discovers a mystery revealed in one of the paintings, launching her into yet another intriguing investigation.
The Comforts of a Muddy Saturday
Volume 5
A doctor’s career has been ruined by allegations of medical fraud and Isabel cannot ignore what may be a miscarriage of justice. 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.
“Whimsical. … [A] memorable cast of characters.… [McCall Smith’s] fans are sure to embrace these moral peregrinations among the plaid.”
—San Francisco Chronicle
The Lost Art of Gratitude
Volume 6
When Minty Auchterlonie takes Isabel into her confidence about the complicated troubles at the investment bank she heads, Isabel finds herself going another round: Is Minty to be trusted? Or is she the perpetrator of an enormous financial fraud? As always, there is no end to the delight in accompanying Isabel as she makes her way toward the heart of every problem.
THE 44 SCOTLAND STREET SERIES
