Following on from the huge success of the 44 Scotland Street series, Alexander McCall Smith has 'moved house' to a crumbling four-storey mansion in Pimlico - Corduroy Mansions. It is inhabited by a glorious assortment of characters: among them, Oedipus Snark, the first ever nasty Lib Dem MP, who is so detestable his own mother, Berthea, is writing an unauthorised biography about him; and one small vegetarian dog, Freddie de la Hay, who has the ability to fasten his own seatbelt. (Although Corduroy Mansions is a fictional name, the address is now registered by the Post Office.)

Review:
The true elegance of the McCall Smith novel-writing machine lies in the fact that for all the comic absurdity of storylines no sooner have we finished with the story of the reluctant gigolo, for example, than we are being introduced to an English-speaking yeti the stories themselves have a very sure and sometimes detailed moral sensibility. --The Scotsman

His thinking is subtle, his observations of human nature and society acute, his plotting watertight, his characters vivid and his turn of phrase sometimes astonishingly beautiful and moving. --Sydney Morning Herald
Book Description:
* The third novel in the London-based Corduroy Mansions series from Alexander McCall Smith, comparable in warmth and humour to 44 Scotland Street, read by the inimitable Andrew Sachs.
