I honestly think that Alexander McCall Smith has lost interest in Precious and the crew, the repetition in this novel starts to grate a bit.

Like his Isabel Dalhousie novels, the characters sometimes become cyphers rather than real life people. Previously one of the attractions of this series was that the characters seemed real and warm hearted.

At one point AMS refers to JLB Maketoni as her fiancé, when they've been married for a couple of novels!

Maybe the author just needs to ease back on his prodigious output until the charm returns.

Fans only.
