Friends, Lovers, Chocolate by Alexander McCall Smith

The second in the Isobel Dalhousie series, this time where a man who has had a heart transplant sees the face of a stranger and wonders what the mystery is. In some ways it reminded me of John Irving’s wonderful book The Fourth Hand – not that that particular book had such a great reception but I like everything Irving writes and am pretty uncritical. It’s a pretty wild sort of goose chase Isobel must go on and it’s hard to see how she can resolve anything sensible. In between it all are philosophical musings which are entertaining.
