Amateur sleuth Isabel Dalhousie is a philosopher who uses her training to s olve unusual mysteries. She edits the Review of Applied Ethics - addressing such questions as 'Truth telling in sexual relationships' - & she also hos ts The Sunday Philosophy Club at her house in Edinburgh. Behind the city's Georgian facades its moral compasses are spinning with greed, dishonesty & murderous intent. Instinct tells Isabel that the young man who tumbled to h is death in front of her eyes at a concertl didn't fall. He was pushed. The Sunday Philosophy Club marks new territory - but familiar moral ground - f rom the author of The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency. With Isabel Dalhousie Alexander Mccall Smith introduces a new & pneumatic female sleuth to tackl e murder, mayhem - & the mysteries of life. As her hero WH Auden maintained , classic detective fiction stems from a desire for an uncorrupted Eden whi ch the detective, as an agent of God, can return to us. But then Isabel, be ing a philosopher, has a thing or two to say about God as well.
