Imagine seeing a young man fall past you from the gallery while at a concert. Isabel Dalhousie, editor of The Review of Applied Ethics, witnesses such an event and feels morally obliged to find out more. Under the pen of Rankin this would set the scene for a spiral of increasingly nasty deaths. However, this genteel foray into detection is an excuse for McCall Smith to reflect on life, morality and everything. Very enjoyable.
