Book Description
In this delightful second installment in Alexander McCall Smith's bestselling detective series, the irrepressibly curious Isabel Dalhousie gets caught up in a highly unusual affair of the heart.
When Isabel is asked to cover for Cat at her delicatessen during Cat's trip to Italy, Isabel meets a man with a most interesting problem. He recently had a heart transplant and is suddenly haunted by memories of events that never happened to him. The situation piques her insatiable curiousity: Could the memories be connected with the donor's demise? Naturally, Isabel's friend Jamie thinks it is none of Isabel's business. Meanwhile, Grace - Isabel's housekeeper - has become infatuated with a man at her spiritualist meeting, and Cat brings home an Italian lothario. That makes for some particularly tricky practical and philosophical problems for Isabel to unravel in this enormously engaging and highly unusual mystery.
"Enchanting...Delicious mental comfort food....The 'intimate' city of Edinburgh is an appealing character in its own right."
------- Los Angeles Times
"Isabel Dalhousie...who made such a smart impression in...The Sunday Philosophy Club, returns in Friends,Loves, Chocolate to further advance the cause of brainy, inquisitive older women who just can't resist an intellectual puzzle."
