Alexander McCall Smith wrote it.  It features Isabel Dalhousie.  What's not to love?  I can't speak for anyone else, but I find it delightful that a short story was offered for the Kindle to keep me entertained while I wait for the new full-length stories. Fortunately AMS is a prolific writer, so that I not only have The Sunday Philosophy Club series to look forward to, but also Scotland Street, the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency, Corduroy Mansions and Professor Dr. Moritz-Maria von Igelfeld. His variety and the amount of depth and individuality his characters display (all of them!)are simply remarkable.Even though this is a short story (novelette?) the premise is thoroughly and thoughtfully dealt with and one or two instances set up situations for the next novel. To mention anything of the plot would be to give it all away, so just read it - it's another AMS treasure.
