The Charming Quirks of Others by Alexander McCall Smith

Smith writes several different series. This one is from the Isabel Dalhousie Series. Sometimes it doesn't seem to matter too much if you read a series in order; but in this case I think you will enjoy this book more if you are already familiar with the characters. Isabel has been asked to help with a delicate situation. A local boys' school is in need of a new headmaster. There are three finalists for the job. But then there comes the dreaded anonymous letter hinting about something shady in the past of one of the candidates. So we don't know which one it is nor do we know the "crime". This book is much more a character study than a mystery.
It was not my favorite book from this series but I still enjoyed listening to the story.
