Our favorite moral philosopher is caught up in a delicate dispute between members of a prominent family as her husband, Jamie, is dragged into his own internecine rivalry.
Isabel accepts an invitation to serve on the advisory committee of the Scottish National Portrait Gallery but soon finds herself swept up in an all-too-familiar dilemma. David is the grandson of a Scottish clan chief and is supportive of Scottish nationalism. But his fervent beliefs are threatening family harmony, especially because his sister Catriona's socialist views put her at odds with her brother. When their mother, Laura, a fellow committee member, asks Isabel to intervene, she tries to demur. But always one for courteous resolutions to philosophical disagreements, Isabel can't help but intercede.
In the meantime, Jamie, having criticized Isabel for getting involved in the affairs of others, does precisely that himself. Jamie is helping to select a new cellist for his ensemble, but he suspects that the conductor may be focused on something other than his favored candidate's cello skills.
With so many factors complicating matters, Isabel and Jamie will have to muster all their tact and charm to ensure that comity is reached between all these fractious parties.

I can’t believe how this culture wars has even spilled over onto literature.
The book was just as good if not better than the rest of the series. In true McCall-Smith fashion he weaves life philosophy into an interesting story with interesting characters. I could find no fault with this book.
I’m writing this review to reassure fans of this series that it is not preachy or “woke” not that there is anything wrong with being kind to people who are different… if that’s woke then we should all be woke. There was no reason to give this book bad reviews it only makes the reviewer look petty and closed minded.
It’s the same AMS we have always liked, it’s the readers who have changed. Pity that and shame on those who want to cancel an author for having a different opinion. Shameful and sad.
Pay no attention to the Trumpers….

I read this book as an audiobook downloaded from Audible. Davina Porter is the perfect narrator for the Dalhousie series.
