内容简介
As well as its advantages, there are drawbacks to the
enlightened village that is twenty-first-century Edinburgh, where
every Saturday night ears burn at dinner parties across the city,
and anyone requiring the investigative abilities of a philosophical
soul knows where to find her. Jillian McKinlay — wife of a trustee
of an illustrious school — is the latest petitioner; she asks
Isabel to look into a poison-pen letter that makes insinuations
about applicants for the position of principal. Isabel’s niece Cat
has another new boyfriend who seems too good to be true. And when a
pretty cellist with a tragic story takes a fancy to her
husband-to-be, Isabel finds herself contemplating an act of heroic
and alarming self-sacrifice.
