It is summer in Edinburgh, and Isabel Dalhousie is once again caught between "gossip" and significant rumour. Patricia, the mother of her son Charlie's little friend Basil, is estranged from his father, and she has a somewhat brazen attitude to childcare. Isabel, however, has much more on her mind as editor of the REVIEW OF APPLIED ETHICS. Along with the work involved for its impending next issue, she needs to get her house in order and tend to the demands of her niece, Cat. But her sharp observation and assured role as confidante soon have Isabel doubting all her recent decisions. What's more, her instinct to help others may have put her in real danger. In her desire to run both a smooth household and working life, has she simply created more chaos?
