First, Mimi and Joe introduce Isabel to Tom Bruce&#8211;a bigwig back home in Texas. The roving eye of Tom&#8217;s young fiancée leads Isabel to believe that money may be at the root of her love for Tom. But what, Isabel wonders, is at the root of Tom&#8217;s interest in Isabel herself? Then there are the feelings that Isabel has for Jamie, which are certainly hard to ignore. And she mustn&#8217;t forget about her niece, Cat, who&#8217;s busy falling for a man whom Isabel suspects of being an incorrigible mama&#8217;s boy. <br><br>Of course, Jamie counsels Isabel to stay out of it all, but there are irresistible philosophical issues at stake&#8211;when to tell the truth and when to keep one&#8217;s mouth shut, to be precise&#8211;and philosophical issues are meat and drink to Isabel Dalhousie, editor of the <i>Review of Applied Ethics</i>. In any case, Isabel is certain of the ethical basis for a little sleuthing now and again&#8211;especially when the problems involve matters of the heart. 739558 19 9 2006 The Right Attitude to Rain (Sunday Philosophy Club, #3) total:1434|5:255|4:605|3:456|2:99|1:19| 1434 5280 1856 174 2 2 false false Sun Jul 27 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Jul 24 18:45:24 -0700 2008 Sun Jul 27 14:21:37 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 1 false false Fri Jun 20 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Aug 31 05:17:02 -0700 2007 Sat Jun 21 08:36:05 -0700 2008 Alexander McCall Smith has done an admirable job of advancing the plot without being too redundant.
