The Right Attitude to Rain / Alexander McCall Smith / 470 pages / Scotland

I was a bit disappointed in this book.  It was described as a mystery, but I found very little of the mysterious here.  Mostly this is a philosophical diatribe on the prudence of forming a relationship with a younger man and the ramifications thereof.  Isabel Dalhousie overthinks the situation perhaps, but her thoughtful musings are insightful.  We learn all about trolls.  They can be beguiled by music, kept at bay by fire, and turned to stone by the sun.  The reappearance of the princesses in a "riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma."
