Review

"[McCall Smith] returns with a new cast of characters to love . . . fans will be grateful that the series has just begun. A-"
Entertainment Weekly
"Filled with charming eccentrics . . . McCall Smith, a master of weaving the many strands of his complex stories together, does so here with supreme virtuosity."
The Washington Post
The indefatigable Scotsman's latest exercise in grace and good manners . . . McCall Smith is the P.G. Wodehouse of our time, and we should be grateful for his prolificacy."
Richmond Times-Dispatch
"As ever, McCall Smith is droll, philosophical, full of original insights, and above all, entertaining."
Bookreporter

Praise from the United Kingdom
Quirky and original . . . Told with warmth, wit and intelligence, and McCall Smith s cast of characters are beautifully observed. It s a page-turner with many happy endings. Perfect.
Daily Express
The author s gentle humor and playful teasing-out of moral dilemmas great and small are there in abundance.
The Scotsman
[Full] of warmth and wisdom and easy, accomplished writing that begs for a comfy chair.
The Times (London)
The seriousness is always sugar-dusted in McCall Smith s delight in the ridiculous and his perfectly paced humour.
The Daily Telegraph"
