What Members Thought
I like the simplicity,
the kindness, the gentleness,
the light humor, and the respect
the author pays to each
character in this story. Smith,
author of the No. 1 Ladies'
Detective series, is not to
everyone's liking. A friend,
who I loaned one of the No. 1
series books, was irritated
with the books. "Nothing happens,"
she complained. I know that is
true. But somehow it suits me.

A wonderfully irreverent first book of another McCall Smith series about a German philologist named Dr. Moriz-Maira von Ingelfeld, professor at the Institute of Romance Philology in Regensburg, Germany. It tracks his rise to linguistic fame--along with all his foibles--and follows his and his various linguistic colleagues in their work and on their vacations. Classic McCall Smith writing that soothes the literary enjoyment pallet. I'm planning to read all of them in the series!
