Book Review: What a treat! Best of the series so far.
Summary: 4 Stars
My favourite of the Isabel Dalhousie series, so far! What a treat! Just the right mix of thinking and relaxing prose. I love the warmth and goodness and common sense that emmanate from McCall Smith's prose. It just feels so good, so cozy. These are books to keep us good company, anytime, anywhere, and to remind us that life is good and we can make it good, too.

Summary of The Right Attitude to Rain: An Isabel Dalhousie Novel (Isabel Dalhousie Mysteries)
The delectable new installment in the best-selling and beloved adventures of Isabel Dalhousie.When Mimi, Isabel's cousin from Dallas, arrives in Edinburgh with her husband, Joe, several confounding situations unfurl. First, Mimi and Joe introduce Isabel to Tom Bruce-a bigwig back home in Texas. The roving eye of Tom's young fianc?e leads Isabel to believe that money may be at the root of her love for Tom. But what, Isabel wonders, is at the root of Tom's interest in Isabel herself? Then there are the feelings that Isabel has for Jamie, which are certainly hard to ignore. And she mustn'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, Jamie counsels Isabel to stay out of it all, 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, Isabel is certain of the ethical basis for a little sleuthing now and again-especially when the problems involve matters of the heart.
