Simon Prebble
From the New York Times best-selling author of The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency comes this serialized novel—reminiscent of his acclaimed 44 Scotland Street.
In London’s Pimlico neighborhood lies a tenement described in architectural guides as “a building of no interest whatsoever”. But the residents of Corduroy Mansions—including a literary agent, a wine merchant, a thoroughly unpleasant member of Parliament, and a vegetarian dog—are a rather fascinating lot. There’s the vitamin evangelist, the psychoanalyst, the art student with a puzzling boyfriend, and Freddie de la Hay, the Pimlico terrier who insists on wearing a seat belt and is almost certainly the only avowed vegetarian canine in London.
Filled with the ins and outs of neighborliness in all its unexpected variations, Corduroy Mansions showcases the life, laughter, and humanity that have become the hallmarks of Alexander McCall Smith’s work.

What about Simon Prebble’s performance did you like?
Loved it!Any additional comments?
Okay, I am a sucker for Scottland, humerous suspense and cute little dogs. I am prewired to love this book. This remineded me quite a bit of McCalls other series at 44 Scottland with Bertie and the like - which I also enjoyed. Visual descriptions like his other stories, good character development of quirky people you may know plus an adorable little dog...what's not to like? Perfect stories for a long commute.Cute, funny and entertaining

I can't write a review of what I'm currently reading because it's from the library, but The Presidents Club, by Nancy Gibbs and Michael Duffy is SO much more than I realized. I highly recommend it if you have any interest in the subject. It's an enormous window into history and a great behind-the-scenes view of all the presidents going back to Truman (I haven't finished and I'm not sure who the final one is, however). It seems very balanced and reminds me a bit of the approach and style of Bob Woodward. You trust them very early on and sense their portrayal of each man is both honest and respectful. There was a lot going on that we didn't hear about as the events occurred and this is your chance to find out!
Pleased to find another series that I like!
