Alexander McCall Smith is always great summer reading and I'm glad Erna suggested this one. I did try another one in this series and it didn't really capture my interest but I enjoyed this one so now I have a new series to try. It's mainly pretty light reading but he always gives you something to think about. I picked up his stand alone recent novel "My Italian Bulldozer" and that looks like a fun read. What can there not be to like about a fellow going through Tuscany on a bulldozer because of car rental problems?
