DISTANT VIEW OF EVERYTHING: An Isabel Dalhousie Novel

Isabel is feeling unsettled, adjusting to life as a new mother alongside her work as a philanthropist and as editor of the Review of Applied Ethics. With a desire to create some space in her busy life, she returns to lending a hand at her niece's delicatessen where surely the most taxing duty is the preparation of sandwiches. It is not long before her helpful nature draws Isabel into her customers' problems, specifically that of self-proclaimed matchmaker Bea Shannon. Bea has staged a potentially dangerous liaison involving enigmatic plastic surgeon Tony MacUspaig who may not be quite who he claims to be. Isabel's help is required in getting to the truth of the matter, but not even she is immune to misunderstandings or the neurotic fantasies that arise from keeping secrets. Brimming with discrete charm. 232pp, paperback.
