The Sunday Philosophy Club by Alexander McCall Smith

I decided I would give Isobel Dalhousie another go. I find the Detective Agency books a bit silly, the homespun philosophy unsatisfying, but on re-reading this book, I found I liked the protagonist. She is so human. In this one she tries to find out what really caused the death of a young man who falls from the gods at the theatre. She bumbles along in her own way, treading on people’s toes and making great leaps of imagination, but the solution is as always in real life, a simple thing.
