The key to contentment in the Scottish climate is the right attitude to rain - just as in life the key to happiness lies in making the best of what you have. Bruised in love by her faithless Irish husband, Isabel Dalhousie is a connoisseur of intimate moral issues: she edits a philosophical journal and spends a great deal of her time considering how to improve the lives of those around her. There is her housekeeper Grace, whose future she must secure; her niece Cat, who is embarking on a new relationship with a dubious workaholic mummy's boy; and even an American couple newly arrived in Edinburgh on a tour. And then there is Jamie, Cat's ex-boyfriend, a handsome, gifted musician fourteen years Isabel's junior, with whom she is slowly and hopelessly falling in love. Intensely thoughtful and consistently entertaining, THE RIGHT ATTITUDE TO RAIN is shot through with compassion and unassuming intelligence.

When her niece Cat travels to a wedding in Italy, Isabel agrees to fill in at Cat's delicatessen. She takes notice of a customer named Ian,who is avoiding chocolate--doctor's say it is bad for the new heart he recently received. Ian is haunted by memories he can't quite place, prompting Isabel to wonder if his new heart may be the cause.

* A charming and sophisticated new series from the Author of the Year from the British Book Awards, BA and Waterstone's Conferences, introducing a brilliant new female 'detective', Isabel Dalhousie.

V predvečer uvedenia Hamleta v divadle Globe dá Rosalind Howardová, odborníčka na Shakespeara, mladej režisérke Kate Stanleyovej tajomnú škatuľku a tvrdí, že sa jej podarilo urobiť ďalekosiahly objav. Skôr však, ako ho môže odhaliť Kate, divadlo Globe zhorí a v ňom sa nájde mŕtve Rosalindino telo. Je zavraždená neobyčajným spôsobom: rovnako, ako bol zabitý Hamletov otec. Keď Kate otvorí škatuľku, nájde prvý kúsok do shakespearovskej hádanky, ktorý ju vyšle na smrteľnú honbu za pokladom vysokej ceny.

The startling novel by one of the most original writers of the twentieth century.
