Critics Review

SCOTSMAN ** ‘The seriousness is always sugar-dusted in McCall Smith’s delight in the ridiculous and his perfectly paced humour

Quirky and original…told with warmth, wit and intelligence, and McCall Smith s cast of characters are beautifully observed. It s a page-turner with many happy endings. Perfect. - Daily Express

Bags of warmth and wisdom and easy, accomplished writing that begs for a comfy chair. - Kate Saunders, The Times

The author’s gentle humour and playful teasing-out of moral dilemmas great and small are there in abundance. - Scotsman

The seriousness is always sugar-dusted in McCall Smith’s delight in the ridiculous and his perfectly paced humour. - Daily Telegraph
