Críticas

"[McCall Smith] returns with a new cast of characters to love . . . fans will be grateful that the series has just begun. A-"
--Entertainment Weekly

"Filled with charming eccentrics . . . McCall Smith, a master of weaving the many strands of his complex stories together, does so here with supreme virtuosity."
--The Washington Post

The indefatigable Scotsman's latest exercise in grace and good manners . . . McCall Smith is the P.G. Wodehouse of our time, and we should be grateful for his prolificacy."
--Richmond Times-Dispatch

"As ever, McCall Smith is droll, philosophical, full of original insights, and above all, entertaining."
--Bookreporter

Praise from the United Kingdom

"Quirky and original . . . Told with warmth, wit and intelligence, and McCall Smith's cast of characters are beautifully observed. It's a page-turner with many happy endings. Perfect."
--Daily Express

"The author's gentle humor and playful teasing-out of moral dilemmas great and small are there in abundance."
--The Scotsman

"[Full] of warmth and wisdom and easy, accomplished writing that begs for a comfy chair."
--The Times (London)

"The seriousness is always sugar-dusted in McCall Smith's delight in the ridiculous and his perfectly paced humour."
--The Daily Telegraph
