I adored this book as if it were that old, soft blanket that lives on the corner of your couch, just waiting to do its job of warming you up as you snuggle up to your book and cup of tea. I rarely read fiction but I never miss an installment of Smith's 44 Scotland Street series nor the Isabel Dalhousie mysteries. If you're an AMS fan and haven't read 44 Scotland Street, I highly recommend you start on that and look forward to its worthy successor Espresso Tales!
