The Right Attitude to Rain by Alexander McCall Smith
3.0
See, now this is the problem with pigeon-holing an author. The author of this book, [author: Alexander McCall Smith] is known for writing mysteries. So, some lazy categorizer slapped a "mystery" sticker on the binding and I picked it up, expecting a certain kind of book. But this book isn't a mystery. Nothing really mysterious happens until page 265 of a 276-page novel. And even then, the characters all assume they know who did it, and don't really plan to do anything.
That's not to say that I didn't like the book; I did. It's just that it's more of a love story than anything else. Not a lot of drama, or action, just quiet, normal people living and interacting. Which is high praise coming from me: It was a comfortable, thoughtful book, perfect for the rainy day that yesterday was.
