Comforts of a Muddy Saturday by Alexander McCall Smith

An Isabel Dalhousie book

Now established as a new mother Isabel is adjusting to life with Jaime.  But this wouldn't be an Isabel story without a moral delimma to investigate. A doctor's career has been ruined by allegations of medical fraud and Isabel cannot ignore what may be a miscarriage of justice. Besides, Isabel's insatiable interest is piqued and she finds herself asking questions. Would a respected doctor make such a grave mistake? If not, what explains the death of the patient? Clearly, an investigation is in order.

Meanwhile, there is her baby Charlie, who needs looking after; her niece Cat who needs someone to mind her deli; and a mysterious composer who has latched on to Jamie, making Isabel decidedly uncomfortable. Whatever the problem, whatever the case, we know we can count on Isabel's instincts to help her find the right solution.

Reading one of these novels is like curling up on a rainy day and this installment didn't disappoint.
