ISABEL DALHOUSIE - Book 7 Nothing captures the charm of Edinburgh like the bestselling Isabel Dalhousie series of novels featuring the insatiably curious philosopher and woman detective. Whether investigating a case or a problem of philosophy, the indefatigable Isabel Dalhousie, one of fictions most richly developed amateur detectives, is always ready to pursue the answers to all of lifes questions, large and small. Isabel has been asked to discreetly investigate the candidates for the position of headmaster at a local boys school. The board has three final candidates but has received an anonymous letter alleging that one of them is not suitable.What she discovers about the candidates is surprising, but what she discovers about herself and about Jamie, the father of her young son, turns out to be equally revealing. Isabels investigation will have her exploring issues of ambition, as well as of charity, forgiveness, and humility, as she moves nearer and nearer to some of the most hidden precincts of the human heart.

I enjoyed this installment more than the past few - though it easily could have been called “The Monsterous Assumptions of Isalbel Dalhousie,” instead of its current title! One thing that bothers me is Isabel‘s lack of development throughout the series; sure, there are many philosophical wonderings and changes in her life, but Isabel lacks psychological change.

Still enjoying the series though!

⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2
