THE ENIGMA OF GARLIC 44 Scotland Street, Book 16

Once again, listeners will become engrossed in the lives of the residents of 44 Scotland Street in contemporary Edinburgh. The deep, rich voice of narrator Robert Ian Mackenzie reacquaints listeners with the denizens of the neighborhood and their mundane musings, moral quandaries, and metaphysical speculations. This sixteenth book in the series asks whether people can change their personalities. Also to be pondered is the danger of white lies, a question of possible bigamy, the perils of summer camp, the ironies of online dating, and the connection between lightning and enlightenment. Like the oft-mentioned bacon rolls, not everyone will enjoy these gentle, slow-paced stories. But there is a devoted following for the series and its acclaimed narrator.
