The Perils of Morning Coffee is an Isabel Dalhousie short story by Alexander McCall Smith, offered in electronic book format. Isabel accepts an invitation from a fellow philosopher to meet for coffee, but is subsequently accused by the man's wife of having an affair with him. As usual, Jamie urges caution, but Isabel is indignant about her innocence and cannot resist investigating further. And again, as usual, Isabel gets the wrong end of the stick, although this time, her misunderstanding is quite understandable. Brother Fox makes a fleeting appearance. As always, this is filled with charming sentiments and amusing repartee. This is a short, but truly delightful offering from Alexander McCall Smith.
