A pleasant new setting—London—a fantastic new cast of characters and one extremely intelligent dog. Corduroy Mansions may be the affectionate nickname directed at a genteel, failing mansion block in London’s lively Pimlico community and the house turf of the fascinating assortment of cool and entirely McCall-Smithian characters. There’s the center-aged wine vendor William, who’s attempting to convince his unlikely twenty-four-year-old boy, Eddie, to abandon the home; and Marcia, the shop caterer that has her sights set on William. There’s additionally the (justifiably) much-loathed Person in Parliament Oedipus Snark; his mom, Berthea, who’s creating his biography and hating every moment of it; and his long-suffering partner, Barbara, a literary agent who'd like to become his wife (but, subsequently, she’d like to become nearly anyone’s wife). There’s the supplement evangelist, the psychoanalyst, the-art student with a perplexing sweetheart and Freddie de la Hay, the Pimlico terrier who insists on wearing a seat-belt and is nearly surely the only real avowed vegetarian dog in London.
