THE STELLAR DEBUT OF GALACTICA MACFEE 44 Scotland Street, Book 17

Robert Ian Mackenzie's performance makes you feel right at home as you share the day-to-day joys and crises of old friends at 44 Scotland Street. The 17th in the series finds Angus wrapped up with a whistleblower, Matthew trying to establish a Pictish Experience Center, Big Lou's husband making an unapproved lifestyle shift, and 7-year-olds Bertie, Olive, and Ranald dealing with the new girl, Galactica Macfee. Galactica is a force to be reckoned with, and Ranald's birthday party is funny and poignant. Mackenzie becomes both chorus and characters--with subtle nods to listeners that he's in on the joke. If this is your first 44 Scotland Street, it won't be your last. Thanks to Mackenzie (and McCall Smith), you'll visit as often as possible.
