Reviews
"[Isabel Dalhousie's] adventures are both delightfully entertaining and provocative."--The Seattle Times "Offers tantalizing glimpses of Edinburgh's complex character and a nice, long look into the beautiful mind of a thinking woman."--The New York Times Book Review"Virtue and truth triumph. . . . If you enjoy discussing the big truths and thinking about thinking, you will enjoy The Comforts of a Muddy Saturday."--The Providence Journal "One of the most irresistible sleuths in modern fiction."--Tucson Citizen"Delightful.... McCall Smith's talent for dialog is matched only by his gift for characterization."--Chicago Tribune"Utterly charming.... Alexander McCall Smith often celebrates the best of humanity--its compassion, its intuition, its empathy."--The Capital Times (Madison, Wisconsin)"The exquisite writing and the kind charm of the characters are an oasis from 21st century life."--The Birmingham Post"Enchanting.... Delicious mental comfort food.... The 'intimate' city of Edinburgh is an appealing character in its own right."--Los Angeles Times"A witty, ruminative and wise examination of the things that comfort and sustain us."--The Times-Picayune
