The Geometry of Holding Hands

In "The Geometry of Holding Hands," Isabel Dalhousie, Edinburgh's beloved philosopher and accidental sleuth, finds her tranquil life complicated by a series of intriguing dilemmas. Just as she and her husband Jamie anticipate a rare moment of peace, Isabel is presented with an extraordinary request: to act as executor for a wealthy Highlander with only months to live. Without direct heirs, he tasks Isabel with the profound decision of choosing the most deserving recipient among his three vastly different cousins—a bohemian artist, a shrewd property developer, and a unassuming bachelor—for his substantial estate. Simultaneously, Isabel's sharp intellect is drawn to a more personal concern involving her niece, Cat. Cat believes she has finally found love with the charismatic Leo, but Isabel harbors growing suspicions that Leo's affections may extend beyond Cat's charm to her access to a family trust. Navigating these complex familial and financial webs requires Isabel to deploy her signature blend of kindness, keen philosophical insight, and remarkable compassion to ensure everyone receives their rightful due, and no more.
