Light-hearted and refreshing novel by the author of the well-known No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency books. Written originally as a serial for the Scotsman newspaper, but flows well enough. You are drawn into the lives of various Edinburgh people, some of them fairly eccentric. The narrative moves briskly and there are some very funny bits and a number of mild cliff-hangers, making a lively and unusual light read.
