"The Sunday Philosophy Club" review by Fran Hays


The Sunday Philosophy Club by Alexander McCall Smith
FIC McC (Beaufort, Bluffton, and Hilton Head)
Large Print available at Bluffton

"McCall Smith, best known for his #1 Ladies Detective Series, has another featuring philosopher Isabel Dalhousie. This first title in the series is set in Edinburgh, Scotland. Isabel witnesses the death of a young man who falls from a concert hall balcony after a performance. She feels that her brief glimpse of him makes her morally responsible to discover why and how he died. Her questioning of the ruthless people who knew the young man put Isabel in danger and makes her re-examine her commitment to finding the truth. The Sunday Philosophy Club is well-written and nicely paced. "
