Lovely

Eighth book in the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series.

The big case in this installment concerns three unexplained deaths at a local hospital--three people have died unexpectedly in the same bed, at the same time of day. Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni decides he is tired of being a mechanic and takes over a case of a cheating husband. All does not go quite as planned. Mma Makutsi resigns in preparation for being a married rich lady, but her newfound freedom doesn't live up to her expectations either. And Charlie, well he is just as irresponsible as ever.

In seeking to improve their lives and try new things, these characters realize that they've had it pretty good all along...

Another wise and wonderful book from Alexander McCall Smith. Highly recommended!

Wonderful People, Wonderful Place

The books in Smith's "Ladies' Number 1 Detective Agency" series are a treasure. When you read the first page of any of them you are transported to a wondrous society where almost everyone is nice, where old values predominate, where courtesy and dignity prevail, where subtle humor and timeless wisdom frame everyday life. It's not a fairy land -- it's Botswana. And Smith writes of this magic place with love and familiarity. As in the earlier books, this one is peopled with wonderful characters, each with a unique character and each having the strengths and weaknesses of the human animal. But the REAL magic is in how Smith structures his stories and builds in suspense and insight in such a fashion that the reader is totally entranced. This series started off excellent and has improved with each book, although I must say this one, albeit a wonderful book, is not the best of the series. But no matter. The "#1 Ladies" books are classics and will remain so for a long time. Each is a gem and each takes you away, for ever so short a time, from our crazy world and puts us in a place where sanity reigns. This book is no exception

excellent continuation of lovely story

This was a another installment of McCall Smith's wonderful series of books set in Botswana. Having lived in Kenya 35 years, every book of this series has caused me to pleasantly remember my life in Africa. Smith treats the characters gently and carefully, giving them very believable personalities and lives. While reading, it is hard to think that Smith is a man writing the thoughts and feelings of an African woman.

Spend A Delicious Afternoon with Precious Ramotswe And the Cast Of Characters From The No.1 Ladies Detective Agency

This is another winner in the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency Series. I read these delightful novels between heavier reading. They are deceptively simple. However, there are charming pearls of wisdom framed in Precious delightful phrasing throughout. I finish one only to hunger for the next.
