Review title: Tales of the Scotland City
Product review: Taking a cue from Armistead Maupin's, "Tales of the City", Alexander McCall Smith has written a charming, witty, and oftentimes very insider portrait of a small group of inhabitants at 44 Scotland Place. Like Maupin, Smith cobbles together a little over a half dozen characters and sets them free to interact. A departure from his excellent Detective Ladies series, it never quite reached the level of those books to me, however it has enough of it's own charm and wit to easily recommend it.
