I really enjoyed this latest title in the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency series. For one thing, there's a little more, dare I say it?, action in this one, although admittedly that's a relative statement. But there is actual physical altercation - no guns of course - and that's a new thing. As usual Ms. Lecat's reading is excellent - she really gives every one of the books she records in this series at least a one star boost if not more.

Another enjoyable set of adventures for Mma Ramotswe, Mma Makutsi and some of their friends. This book had a bit more humor than some of the others, which was fun--I especially enjoyed the boatman's conversation en route to the safari camp :-)

I just love these books. I love the main character and her wisdom, and I wish I was more like her. I'm giving this four stars just because the mysteries were a little more forced than usual. Usually the outcomes are exciting and somewhat surprising (though they are certainly not hardcore mysteries), but this time they weren't as clever or able to capture the quick wit and intelligence of Mma Ramotswe. That being said, it still had everything I loved about this series.

Not as good as his other ones.
This is one of the best books of this series. Mma Ramotswe solves several mysteries with ease but the story-telling aspect of this book in particular is outstanding.
One of my favorite one in the series yet! I just LOVE all of the characters in these books from the main characters to even the minor ones like the apprentice mechanics.
Another nice book in the No. 1 Ladies' Dectective Agency. I really like this series of books and the characters never disappoint.

And yet another easy breezy read from my favorite author!
