Description

In Edinburgh, philosopher and amateur sleuth Isabel Dalhousie is drawn into a mystery that begins with a chance encounter and a troubling account of a near-death experience. As she searches for answers, Isabel must weigh questions of truth, responsibility, friendship, and the sometimes-blurred boundaries between intuition and evidence. Set against the city’s intellectual and social life, the novel combines gentle suspense with thoughtful reflections on love, morality, and human connection. With its warm, contemplative style and quietly incisive observations, it offers an engrossing portrait of a woman guided as much by conscience as by curiosity.
