The Right Attitude to Rain

The Right Attitude to RainISABEL DALHOUSIE - Book 3Nothing

captures the charm of Edinburgh like the bestselling Isabel Dalhousie

series of novels featuring the insatiably curious philosopher and woman

detective.  Whether investigating a case or a problem of philosophy, the

indefatigable Isabel Dalhousie, one of fiction’s most richly developed

amateur detectives, is always ready to pursue the answers to all of

life’s questions, large and small.The delectable new

installment in the bestselling and already beloved adventures of Isabel

Dalhousie and her no-nonsense housekeeper, Grace.When friends

from Dallas arrive in Edinburgh and introduce Isabel to Tom Bruce – a

bigwig at home in Texas – several confounding situations unfurl at once.

Tom’s young fiancée’s roving eye leads Isabel to believe that money may

be the root of her love for Tom. But what, Isabel wonders, is the root

of the interest Tom begins to show for Isabel herself? And she can’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 Grace and

Isabel’s friend Jamie counsel Isabel to stay out of all of it, 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, she’s certain of the ethical basis for a

little sleuthing now and again – especially when the problems involve

matters of the heart.
