A quick read I flew through it off and on over the course of a day (Though, everytime she mentioned Kalahari, all I could think of were shifty meerkats...). Told simply, it is the story of a woman in the Kalahari who opens the 1st detective agency, it paints her in a light that makes her appear strong and smart but also nosey and fallible. If you have some time to kill and this book is around, it's probably worth the read. ...more
