Critic reviews

"As addictive as any book McCall Smith has written." ( Publishers Weekly)

Delightful!

The more I read this series, the more I want to be invited to Dominca's for dinner. I want to hear one of Angus' poems in person, have Cyril eye my ankles, and have a serious chat with Irene about parenting. How can one grow to care so much about imaginary people? Perhaps Dr. Fairbairn could answer that question - on second thought.... I found myself laughing out loud as I listened.

This particular book sees Dominica off to study the pirates, Bertie joins a teen orchestra, poor Cyril gets kidnapped, Big Lou gets ripped off, and more, with all sorts of adventures ensuing. These are stories with a heart and soul.

Robert Ian MacKenzie narrates the adventures with love and affection, using different voices for the different characters. Thank you, Alexander McCall Smith for this gift of a series.

Enchanting!

Wonderful narration, thoroughly engaging! I laughed out loud in many places :) Can't wait to hear the next one.

the story continues

I really loved the continuing story of the residents of 44 Scotland Street, especially Bertie's adventures in Paris!

Gorgeous writing

Profound understanding and compassion for human nature; rich detail about history, culture, place, style; biting social commentary subtley woven in; and profound insights into the role and nature of beauty and art in human life. Simply gorgeous writing.

enjoyable

I loved the author's Ladies Detective Agency books, but this was the first in this series for me. At first I thought the little boy's character would prove to be too irritating for me to endure, but the narrator was so good that I ended up enjoying the book and would recommend it as a fun book.
