The brilliant Alexander McCall Smith became an international sensation with his New York Times best-selling No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency novels. His award-winning wit, made famous through that series, is fully on display in 44 Scotland Street.

When Pat rents a room in Edinburgh, she acquires some interesting neighbors, including a pushy Stockbridge mother and her talented, sax-playing, 5-year-old son. Pat's job at an art gallery hardly keeps her busy, until she suspects one painting in the collection may be an undiscovered work from a Scottish master. As Pat handles the mystery of the painting, she and the people surrounding her confront issues of trust, love, and loss.

Chalk up another winner for McCall Smith, whose endlessly entertaining and perceptive novel is filled with delightfully authentic sketches of all the archetypes of Edinburgh society.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Readers needn't possess plaid clothes or a brogue to savor this wise, witty send-up of Edinburgh rogues." (Booklist)
"The possibility of romance, the ongoing ups and downs of the large, well-drawn cast of characters, the intricate plot, and the way Smith nimbly jumps from situation to situation and POV to POV...works beautifully." (Publishers Weekly)

Great lighthearted listen but the constant awful attempt at a Scottish accent makes this almost impossible to finish.

Very enjoyable book but the narrator is pretty bad

A perfectly narrated view of some wonderful characters in modern day Edinburgh. I didn't want it to end.

A wonderfully enjoyable and entertaining book

Excellent prose, both funny and thought provoking. I don't think it was finished though and I wonder about a conclusion. I loved the narrator.

Lovely story.

i listen to this book over and over because it is so much fun and so well written. The performance is wonderful and the dry humor of Scotland is wonderful. Best of all are the characters who i've gotten to know in depth. one of my favorite books.

Absolutely the best of McCall Smith
