Corduroy Mansions — Alexander McCall Smith

From universally beloved author Alexander McCall Smith, comes the first novel in a brand new series with a colorful cast of characters and one incredibly crafty canine.

In London's hip Pimlico neighborhood the much-loved Corduroy Mansions sits on a crumbling city block. Full of comforting, weathered brickwork and dormer windows, it is home to a delightfully eccentric cast of residents including, but not limited to: a wine merchant, who desperately hopes his son will move out; a boutique caterer down the hall with designs on the wine merchant; a snarky member of Parliament; and Freddie de la Hay, a Pimlico terrier, who insists on wearing a seat belt and is an avowed vegetarian. Overflowing with life and laughter, Corduroy Mansions is full of McCall Smith's trademark humanity and sure to delight his many fans.
