Full-time philosopher and occasional sleuth Isabel Dalhousie, now the mother of a baby boy, is getting used to the new rhythms of her life, caring for little Charlie with the sometimes unsettling aid of her forthright housekeeper, Grace, having dinners with Charlie’s father, Jamie, and tending as usual to submissions to the Review of Applied Ethics. But Isabel is deeply unsettled when she receives a letter telling her that she is soon to be replaced as editor of the Review by Christopher Dove, an ambitious academic at a London university, and she considers a variety of ways of dealing with this unwelcome news. And her niece, Cat, who a couple of years before had rejected Jamie and broken his heart, is now furious at Isabel for having stolen him away. Isabel’s insatiable curiosity—or what Jamie sees as her tendency toward meddling—is peaked when she learns some odd details regarding two paintings by a Scottish artist that have come onto the auction market, and she begins to think that the paintings might be forgeries. Her investigation takes her to the beautiful Isle of Jura, where she finds some recent traces of the painter and learns of his apparent suicide in the fabled whirlpool called the Corryvreckan. A visit to the painter’s widow brings a surprising realization, one that contributes to her musings throughout the story on mothers, fathers, and sons.

ISABEL DALHOUSIE - Book 3 Nothing captures the charm of Edinburgh like the bestselling Isabel Dalhousie series of novels featuring the insatiably curious philosopher and woman detective. Whether investigating a case or a problem of philosophy, the indefatigable Isabel Dalhousie, one of fiction’s most richly developed amateur detectives, is always ready to pursue the answers to all of life’s questions, large and small. The delectable third installment in the bestselling and already beloved adventures of Isabel Dalhousie and her no-nonsense housekeeper, Grace. When friends from Dallas arrive in Edinburgh and introduce Isabel to Tom Bruce – a bigwig at home in Texas – several confounding situations unfurl at once. Tom’s young fiancée’s roving eye leads Isabel to believe that money may be the root of her love for Tom. But what, Isabel wonders, is the root of the interest Tom begins to show for Isabel herself? And she can’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 Grace and Isabel’s friend Jamie counsel Isabel to stay out of all of it, 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, she’s certain of the ethical basis for a little sleuthing now and again – especially when the problems involve matters of the heart.

« Un traitement léger de vraies questions philosophiques, une savoureuse approche d’Édimbourg : on déguste et on s’amuse ! » La Voix du Nord Le livre : Isabel, la philosophe à l’esprit inquisiteur qui dirige la Revue d’éthique appliquée, reste difficilement fidèle à ses exigences morales. Entre la naissance du petit Charlie et son amour pour Jamie, le père, de quatorze ans plus jeune qu’elle, elle avance en terrain inconnu. Sa nièce Cat refuse cette situation, sa gouvernante Grace lui dispute l’autorité sur son fils et elle-même se trouve mêlée à la disparition mystérieuse d’un peintre, ce qui n’arrange rien. De plus, son statut professionnel et l’avenir de sa revue bien-aimée sont menacés par les attaques machiavéliques du professeur Dove, au charme décidément suspect. Pour gérer ces conflits délicats, Isabel devra manier avec doigté le bon usage des compliments. L’auteur : Alexander McCall Smith est internationalement connu pour avoir créé le personnage de la première femme détective du Botswana, Mma Precious Ramotswe. Ressortissant britannique né au Zimbabwe, il a été professeur de droit appliqué à la médecine et membre du Comité international de bioéthique à l’Unesco avant de se consacrer à la littérature. Alexander McCall Smith a reçu de nombreux prix et a été nommé meilleur auteur de l’année par les British Book Awards en 2004. En 2007, il a reçu le titre de commandeur de l’Empire britannique (CBE) pour services rendus à la littérature. Quand il n’écrit pas, il fait partie de l’Orchestre épouvantable. Ses romans sont traduits dans quarante-cinq langues. Il vit aujourd’hui à Édimbourg, en Écosse.

A deliciously entertaining new series by the bestselling author of The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency The many fans of Precious Ramotswe will find further cause for celebration in the protagonist of Alexander McCall Smith’s irresistibly funny trilogy, the eminent (if shamefully under-read) philologist Professor Dr. Mortiz-Maria von Igelfeld of the Institute at Regensburg. Unnaturally tall, hypersensitive to slights, and oblivious to his own frequent gaucheries, von Igelfeld is engaged in a never-ending quest to win the respect he knows is due him. Portuguese Irregular Verbs follows the Professor from a busman’s holiday researching old Irish obscenities to a flirtation with a desirable lady dentist. In The Finer Points of Sausage Dogs, von Igelfeld practices veterinary medicine without a license, transports relics for a schismatically challenged Coptic prelate and is mobbed by marriage-minded widows on board a Mediterranean cruise ship. In At the Villa of Reduced Circumstances, the final novel in the trilogy, we find our hero suffering the slings of academic intrigue as a visiting fellow at Cambridge, and the slings of outrageous fortune in an eventful Columbian adventure.
