Publisher's Synopsis
Isabel Dalhousie is a new mother and a connoisseur of philosophy; she'd rather not be a sleuth. But when a chance conversation draws Isabel into the case of a doctor whose career has been ruined, she cannot ignore what may be a miscarriage of justice. As she attempts to unravel the truth behind Dr Thompson's disgrace, Isabel's patient intelligence is also required to deal with challenges in her own life. There is her baby son Charlie; Cat's deli to look after, not to mention her vulnerable assistant Eddie; and an unlikeable composer who has latched on to Jamie. Isabel treads a difficult path between philanthropy and interference, while keeping in her sights the small comforts of family, philosophy and a fine Saturday morning.
