The much-loved Isabel Dalhousie series continues with its twelfth installment, set in the enchanting city of Edinburgh during the summer. Isabel finds herself once again caught in the midst of gossip and significant rumours, which she tries her best to ignore. However, her curiosity gets the better of her when she learns that Patricia, the mother of her son Charlie's little friend Basil, is estranged from Basil's father, and that Patricia has a rather bold approach to childcare. Despite her best efforts to stay out of it, Isabel can't help but be intrigued.

On top of her demanding job as the editor of the Review of Applied Ethics, Isabel is also dealing with the challenges of managing her house and caring for her niece, Cat. Thankfully, the arrival of Antonia, the lively Italian au pair, comes to her rescue, taking care of urgent chores and providing a much-needed source of laughter. The hiring of Claire, a diligent and strikingly beautiful new assistant at the Review, brings a sense of relief to Isabel, as she believes that she can finally take a breather and focus on her work.

However, Isabel's sharp observation and confident role as a confidante soon lead her to question all of her recent decisions. She begins to doubt her instincts to help others, as they may have put her in real danger. In her pursuit of running a smooth household and a successful career, has she inadvertently created more chaos? Perhaps, the quiet side of passion is the best side to be on after all?
