The Sunday Philosophy Club (Isabel Dalhousie #1) by Alexander McCall Smith

THE SUNDAY PHILOSOPHY CLUB SERIES

Behind Edinburgh's regimented Georgian facades, it's moral compasses are spinning with greed, dishonesty, lust and murderous intent. Isabel Dalhousie knows this. Isabel, in fact, rather relishes it. An accomplished philosopher and editor of the Review of Applied Ethiics, she knows all about the difference between good and bad. Which is probably why, by instinct, she is an amateur sleuth. And instinct tells her the man who tumbled to his death in front of her eyes after a concert in the Usher Hall didn't fall. He was pushed.

And whatever Isabel lacks in official status, she more than makes up for with accomplices and contacts: there's her housekeeper Grace, whose applied philosophy is that the Edinburgh way is right and the way of the world is wrong; her beautiful niece Car; and Cat's ex boyfriend, Jamie, who is leading Isabel to review her own ethics in the sexual attraction market . . .
