I have thirteen books in my TBR possibilities so of course I choose to read something completely different.
THE COMFORTS OF A MUDDY SATURDAY by Alexander McCall Smith 5th in Isabel Dalhousie series.
Isabel Dalhousie is a new mother and a connoisseur of philosophy; she'd rather not be a sleuth. But when a chance conversation at a dinner party draws her into the case of a doctor whose career has been ruined, she cannot ignore what may be a miscarriage of justice. Because for Isabel ethics are not theoretical at all, but an everyday matter of life and death. 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 a mysterious and unlikeable composer who has latched on to Jamie, making Isabel fear for the future of her new family. Isabel treads a difficult path between trust and gullibility, philanthropy and interference, while keeping in her sights the small but certain comforts of family, philosophy and a fine Saturday morning.
Published 2008; 278 pages. Both ebook and audiobook I have out from the library. We'll see if this hits the spot.
I've been enjoying in general the Stanley Tucci book, WHAT I ATE IN ONE YEAR but as it is a sort of diary about what his meals are and who he meets with, it can get a little tedious. Even though this is also from the library and it took six months to get it, I may pause on it and come back to it later. I'm only in July of the book right now and it goes back in five days.
Sprints tonight.
Have a good day.
Much love,
