The Comforts of a Muddy Saturday

In Smith's winning fifth novel to feature Edinburgh philosophical sleuth Isabel Dalhousie (after The Careful Use of Compliments), Dalhousie, who's recently assumed ownership of the obscure journal she's edited for many years, the Review of Applied Ethics, applies her deductive gifts to the case of a disgraced doctor. When a patient dies after taking a new antibiotic that Marcus Moncrieff deemed safe in clinical trials, the doctor's original report turns out to contain falsified data.

C. Funke – Ghosthunters and the Muddy Monster of Doom!

Suddenly there’s a lot more at stake than Tom’s graduation. This raging beast is dead-set on doomsday. And that’s no bull!

 

 

You will never now become a rock star or regain the waist size you had at 18.

On the bright side, you can look forward to cheaper car insurance, and it's only ten years until you can book your first Saga holiday! You can take delight in the fact that you will never again have to sleep in a muddy field at Glastonbury, stay up all night at a party, or pretend to like Tequila Slammers.
