Media Reviews
Praise for the Isabel Dalhousie Series:
[A] memorable cast of characters.... McCall Smith's assessments of fellow humans are piercing and profound... . [His] depictions of Edinburgh are vivid and seamless.... His fans ... are sure to embrace these moral peregrinations among the plaid.
-- San Francisco Chronicle

Scotland is a village ... just as exotic and compelling, in its way, as Botswana. When authors as clever as McCall Smith pursue such parallel tracks, readers are doubly well-served.
-- The Wall Street Journal
