內容簡介: |
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 Isabel 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.
