The Sunday Philosophy Club

Isabel Dalhousie, a sharp-witted philosopher, editor of the 'Review of Applied Ethics,' and founder of the 'Sunday Philosophy Club,' finds her intellectual pursuits suddenly grounded in a real-world mystery. While attending a concert at Edinburgh's Usher Hall, she witnesses a man fall to his death from a balcony. Her keen philosophical mind and powerful intuition immediately suggest foul play – he was pushed. Compelled by a deep sense of moral duty, Isabel embarks on an amateur investigation, delving into the intricacies of Edinburgh's high society, where greed, dishonesty, and lust often lurk beneath elegant facades. Lacking official authority, she relies on her extensive network, including her pragmatic housekeeper Grace, her spirited niece Cat, and Cat's charming ex-boyfriend Jamie, whose presence stirs unexpected ethical dilemmas for Isabel herself. This captivating narrative beautifully intertwines philosophical reflection with a compelling whodunit, exploring the complexities of human behavior and morality against a charming Scottish backdrop.
