This is the third novel in the Isabel Dalhousie novel although it's not necessary to read the first two in the series. I think I've read only the first one. Isabel is a middle age editor of a philosophy (applied ethics) journal and lives in Edinburgh, Scotland. She has a niece Cat who owns a deli. Cat's ex-boyfriend is Jamie who has taken a liking to Isabel and the feeling is mutual. There is no complicated plot, no mystery to solve. This is a story of Isabel's life over a period of a few months. She has a cousin + husband from Dallas visiting. They have another friend from Dallas who is also visiting Scotland with his fiance. Could she be a gold-digger? What happens when Cat finds out that Isabel is dating her ex-boyfriend? Because Isabel is a philosopher, she expresses thoughts that us mere mortals don't process as deeply. For instance, -- gazing into a stranger's eye is an acknowledging one's shared humanity. -- are atheists capable of showing love/morality at one's deathbed? What type of person would you like at your deathbed? An atheist or someone with faith? -- if dreams are internal rhetoric or internal debates, what does it mean when others in our dreams speak? Do those spoken words have meaning? -- can you kill someone to save your life even if your victim is not responsibility for creating the threat on your life? Here's the lifeboat issue: if you're on a lifeboat and everyone is hungry, can you kill someone for your nourishment? I do like the author's description of hell: cocktail party every night requiring mandatory attendance and there's no alcohol to help you with "cocktail chit chat". Easy read but the ending was a surprise to me. I didn't expect it.
