The second installment of the famous lady detective, Mma Ramotswe, is a bit more dramatic than the first one. The element of mystery is not as much as in the first book, but the elements of family, African culture and history, and even a bit romance, were there. As always, McCall Smith has this incredible talent for turning any okay story into a very beautiful one.
