ABACUS

Isabel Dalhousie is a new mother and a connoisseur of philosophy; she'd rather not be a sleuth. But when a chance conversation at a dinner party draws Isabel into the case of a doctor whose career has been ruined, she cannot ignore what may be a miscarriage of justice. Because for Isabel ethics are not theoretical at all, but an everyday matter of life and death.

As she attempts to unravel the truth behind Dr Thompson's disgrace, Isabel's patient intelligence is also required to deal with challenges in her own life: spending more time with her son; looking after her niece Cat's delicatessen; and, most alarmingly, accomodating boyfriend Jamie's friendship with the thoroughly unlikeable Nick Smart, from which she's excluded.

While treading a difficult path between trust and gullibility, altuism and interference, keeping in her sights the small but certain comforts of family, philosophy and a fine Saturday morning.
