An accomplished philosopher and editor of the Review of Applied Ethics, she knows the difference between good and bad. Which is probably why, by instinct, she is an amateur sleuth. And instinct tells her the man who tumbled to his death in front of her eyes after a concert in the Usher Hall didn't fall. He was pushed ...

(Bought second-hand at the CAFDA Charity Bookshop, Warwick Street, Claremont.)

The first of the Isabel Dalhousie series, and an enjoyable read.

To be dropped off at the OBCZ later today.
