Bertie’s Guide to Life and Mothers by Alexander McCall Smith is of course one of the Scotland Street books, set in Edinburgh. I got a bit fed up with this series but decided to give it another go and I did enjoy this one which is mainly about wee Bertie of course. A couple of particularly ghastly characters get their comeuppance in this one, which is always satisfying to me. I do like things to be fair in fiction, if only because it rarely is in real life!
