I loved this book so much!!!! I enjoyed Alexander McCall Smith's first book in the "No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency" and this 2nd book in the series, "Tears of the Giraffe" was just as good as the first!

The following may or may not contain spoilers.

In this book, Botswana's lady detective Precious Ramotswe takes on a difficult new case as an American woman asks her to find her son who vanished 10 years prior. Meanwhile, Precious enjoys her engagment with mechanic J.L.B. Matekoni who is attatched to two pieces of "baggage": the good part being the sudden adoption of two orphans, and the bad part being a lazy and mean-hearted maid who has plans of runing the life of Precious.

Wowza is this a great series so far. I love the laid-back style in which it is written and I truly feel transported to this beautiful community in Botswana. The characters pop to life on the pages and I read this with rapid speed. I am offically a fan of this fantastic series!
