Just finished The Sunday Philosophy Club: An Isabel Dalhousie Novel by Alexander Mccall Smith. The phrase that came to mind as best describing it is "an absorbing promenade." This book does not rush to a climax, but takes a leisurely stroll down dozens of miscellaneous side streets as Isabel Dalhousie, editor of the Review of Applied Ethics, seeks the killer of the young man she saw fall to his death. The tangents are what make this story so fascinating. Isabel is constantly reflecting upon all she hears, feels, and thinks, and weighing it in her own ethical balance.
