Description

In the vibrant city of Edinburgh, a complex web of relationships and secrets unfolds. Isabel Dalhousie, a woman with a sharp mind and a compassionate heart, finds herself entangled in a series of intriguing mysteries. A poison-pen letter sets off a chain reaction, as Jillian McKinlay seeks Isabel's help to uncover the truth behind malicious insinuations about applicants for a prestigious school position. Meanwhile, Isabel's niece Cat navigates a new relationship that seems too good to be true, while a tragic cellist's story weaves its way into Isabel's life. As Isabel contemplates an act of heroic self-sacrifice, she must balance her desire to help others with the complexities of human relationships and the darker aspects of human nature.
