Has anyone read The Pavilion In The Clouds by Alexander McCall Smith?

I’m about a third of the way through, and it’s very pleasant and everything but I’m slightly wondering if anything actually happens.

(I mean yes, there’s the bit where DramaticSpoiler happens, but even that’s really quite dull as DramaticSpoilers go. The thing with the doll in the maths class was more exciting.)

I haven’t, not a fan, after seeing all the raves about him I thought I’d give it a go, I quite like a cosy/semi cosy mystery type thing on a cold winter’s day, but for the life of me I could not get into it, never finished it, thinking maybe just that one so tried another, nope, just not for me at all.

I couldn’t get into his Edinburgh series (I suspect because it was originally a daily newspaper serial and worked better in that format), but I do like No 1.
