Friends, Lovers, Chocolate is the second book in the Isabel Dalhousie Series by Alexander McCall Smith. These books have a weightier quality to them than the more lighthearted Ladies No.1 Detective Agency Series. Set in Edinburgh, Isabel Dalhousie is another wonderful, strong, intelligent, female lead character. She is a philosopher and a bit of an investigator herself.

In this book, she meets a man who has recently had a heart transplant, and now is having strange dreams, almost like memories. She decides to investigate and we wander through Edinburgh with her, getting acquainted with the neighborhood, as well as listening to all the philosophical musings going on in her mind.

McCall Smith is always clever, charming and original. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
