À propos de cet audio

 In this delightful second installment in Alexander McCall Smith's best-selling new detective series, the irrepressibly curious Isabel Dalhousie, editor of the Review of Applied Ethics, gets caught up in an affair of the heart, this one a transplant.

When Isabel's niece, Cat, asks Isabel to run her delicatessen while she attends a wedding in Italy, Isabel meets a man with a most interesting problem. He recently had a heart transplant and is suddenly plagued with memories of events that never happened to him. The situation appeals to Isabel as a philosophical question: Is the heart truly the seat of the soul? And it piques her insatiable curiosity: Could the memories be connected with the donor's demise? Of course, Grace, Isabel's no-nonsense housekeeper, and Isabel's friend Jamie think it is none of Isabel's business. Meanwhile, Cat brings home an Italian lothario, who, in accordance with all that Isabel knows about Italian lotharios, shouldn't be trusted...but, goodness, he is charming.

That makes two mysteries of the heart to be solved, just the thing for Isabel Dalhousie.

I really enjoyed this second book in the series. The mystery to be solved was unusual and had such a very lovely conclusion I had tears running down my face. Isabel carries on struggling between her moral ethics and deliberating on her choices and then succumbing to her humanity and right royally puts her foot in it ... something I love about this character as it makes her relatable. The usual side characters are there and some new ones to keep things interesting. Isabel gets to ponder unrequited love along with many other subjects. Davina Porter does a fabulous job of narrating and I am so pleased she did this series before she retired.

A Great Second Outing
