Friends, Lovers, Chocolate by Alexander McCall Smith

4.0

Delightful tale I listened to on CD during a road trip. I had heard of this author but had never had a chance to pick up anything from him. I do love the characterizations, especially Isabel's wandering off in musings - usually philosophical, oftentimes bemusing. My only disappointment was a less than ideal resolution (which was ironic, considering that the last few chapters openly discuss resolution, esp. in music). Some aspects of the mystery seemed to be dismissed entirely, or otherwise breezed over as coincidences. What DID happen to Rose Macleod and her partner? There seemed to be some unfinished business there that left me calmoring for more.
