ISABEL DALHOUSIE - Book 3 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 fiction s most richly developed amateur detectives, is always ready to pursue the answers to all of life s questions, large and small. The delectable new installment in the bestselling and already beloved adventures of Isabel Dalhousie and her no-nonsense housekeeper, Grace.When friends from Dallas arrive in Edinburgh and introduce Isabel to Tom Bruce a bigwig at home in Texas several confounding situations unfurl at once. Tom s young fiancee s roving eye leads Isabel to believe that money may be the root of her love for Tom. But what, Isabel wonders, is the root of the interest Tom begins to show for Isabel herself? And she can t forget about her niece, Cat, who s busy falling for a man whom Isabel suspects of being an incorrigible mama s boy. Of course Grace and Isabel s friend Jamie counsel Isabel to stay out of all of it, but there are irresistible philosophical issues at stake when to tell the truth and when to keep one s mouth shut, to be precise and philosophical issues are meat and drink to Isabel Dalhousie, editor of the Review of Applied Ethics. In any case, she s certain of the ethical basis for a little sleuthing now and again especially when the problems involve matters of the heart."

Another in the Isabel Dalhousie series. Enjoyed this one especially because it moves along the relationships between some of the characters. Wish it might have had a little more about this, but overall I‘m excited to continue the series!

Working on a project to scan all the books in my house that I haven't read yet into my LibraryThing app. I have one big bookshelf to go and I'm up to 155. Not so bad. I thought I had at least 500 unread books. Time to shop!

This series is growing on me more and more. Isabel has lost some of her snobbiness and replaced it with a cute kind of cluelessness when it comes to questions of the heart.
