Isabel Dalhousie joins the advisory committee of the Scottish National Portrait Gallery, but soon finds herself swept up in a delicate dispute between members of a prominent family. David’s support for Scottish nationalism puts him at odds with his sister Catriona and her socialist views, threatening family harmony. Always one for courteous resolutions to philosophical disagreements, Isabel can’t help but intercede when she is asked to by their mother, Laura, a fellow committee member.
Meanwhile, Jamie, having criticised Isabel for getting involved in the affairs of others, does precisely that himself when he suspects the conductor of his ensemble may have selected a new cellist based on something other than musical skills.
With so many factors complicating matters, Isabel and Jamie will have to muster all their tact and charm to ensure that harmony is reached between all these fractious parties.

HAPPY WITH PURCHASE
by Dostoevski
An enthralling blend of psychology, moral philosophy and intrigue – another compulsive read from a rattling good storyteller. Isabel and Jamie become involved in complex entanglements, and each must consider their actions, their marriage and their children. On top if that, the thorny question – is one of their sons a bullying biter? And punctuating the story, rearing his russet nose at regular intervals, slinking like a shadow through the garden, is dear Brother Fox.
by D. C. A. Price
Another lovely Isabel Dalhousie novel – always a joy and heartwarming.

Another wonderful book of the Isabel Dalhousie series. I gave it only 4 stars because the cover is so rough and unpleasant to hold that I took it off. All other books are lovely to look at and to hold and give an added pleasure to the reading experience. I see it is an American publisher now so there are changes, naturally. But what were they thinking? Did they actually touch it?

This a good read and up to the authors usual standard
