I was charmed by this book! Perhaps I just picked it up at the right moment but, whatever the case, I was immediately drawn into the story, the location and I enjoyed 'meeting' and finding out more about the main character. The 'mysteries' are very easily solved and are really just mini-parables so if you are looking for Miss Marples, you will have to look elsewhere. I look forward to reading more of the series.

Thoroughly enjoyable book! Mma Ramotswe's detective cases are used to reveal her life story and her own dreams and sorrows. I loved how the author, Alexander McCall Smith truly does make this an African story as he exposes us to the cultures of several African nations.
I will look forward to getting to know Mma Precious Ramotswe better as I read other books in this series. ...more
