Journal Entry 1 by wingmaryzeewing from Taneytown, Maryland USA on Monday, November 3, 2008
Picked this up at the library book sale, for BC. I've heard this is a very good author, although I've not read anything by him. (I can't read everything ;)

From the cover -
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 fiance 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 consels 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.
