About this listen
Winner of the CWA Dagger in the Library Award, 2004.
Amateur sleuth Isabel Dalhousie is a philosopher who uses her training to solve unusual mysteries. She edits the Review of Applied Ethics, addressing such questions as "Truth telling in sexual relationships", and she also hosts The Sunday Philosophy Club at her house in Edinburgh.
Behind the city's Georgian facades, its moral compasses are spinning with greed, dishonesty, and murderous intent. Instinct tells Isabel that the young man who tumbled to his death in front of her eyes at a concert didn't fall. He was pushed.
The Sunday Philosophy Club marks new territory, but familiar moral ground, from the author of The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency. With Isabel Dalhousie, Alexander Mccall Smith introduces a new and pneumatic female sleuth to tackle murder, mayhem, and the mysteries of life.

"The literary equivalent of herbal tea and a cozy fire....McCall Smith's Scotland [is] well worth future visits." ( The New York Times)
The narrator works well but the pacing of the story is sloooow with each weirdly marked passage ended and introduced by terrible Muzak- I’m not sure what the production company was thinking!!!
It was similar to listening to a narrator take a deep in breath on each sentence ( In a production of Don Quixote I recently listened to) there was no escape - I may try a different version- oh that’s right you can’t exchange audible books not bought on a credit!!
The annoying chapter introduction music
