Summary
From the beloved author of the No。 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency comes a fabulous new novel in three The Perfect Passion Company ， tales of love and companionship from Scotland’s most low-key dating agency。
As the new manager of The Perfect Passion Company at No。 24 Mouse Lane in New Town， Katie Donald has made it her mission to provide help to the lovelorn citizens of Edinburgh。 With the help of her amiable and handsome office neighbor William Kidd， she finds herself making matches for the lonely hearts of Edinburgh who want a more personal touch。 In this tale， Katie helps an airline pilot figure out what it is he really wants in a partner by sending him to cooking school。 Another customer， a hotelier with a particularly overbearing mother， arrives looking for a bit of freedom – and space。 Along the way， Katie learns that the work of the Perfect Passion Company may be a little broader in its scope than she had originally thought。 With the tenderness and lightness of touch that only McCall Smith is capable of， this novel offers a glimpse inside the psychology of matchmaking， the search for love and companionship， and the mysterious spark of attraction that can， at times， catch hold of us all。

Delightful reading as alwaysAlexander McCall Smith never fails to delight， even though his books always follow a similar theme， a familiarly bucolic theme， with a gentle moral tone， coupled with observations on life that are familiar to all of us。 The characters as always are easily relate-able to characters and characteristics so familiar to us all， which is what makes his books such a joy to read。I do hope this is not a one off， but the start of another compelling series。
