The Right Attitude to Rain

New York Times bestselling author Alexander McCall Smith has become a household name through his No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency series. Now he continues his equally charming Isabel Dalhousie series with the third mystery starring the highly ethical, plucky protagonist.

Isabel’s life is thrown for a few loops when her cousin Mimi arrives from Dallas with her husband, Joe. Through Mimi and Joe, Isabel meets Texas hotshot Tom Bruce, who is about to marry someone Isabel suspects of gold-digging. Further complicating matters, Tom seems to have an unusual level of interest in Isabel. Meanwhile, Isabel has her own feelings to deal with—not to mention those of her beloved niece, Cat, whose romantic interest may not be up to snuff.

It would all be quite a lot for one person to contend with—if that person wasn’t Isabel, who is always ready to apply her well-defined sense of ethics to any situation.
