I thoroughly enjoyed the few hours that I spent in Gaborone, Botswana with Precious Ramotswe, the proprietor of the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, and her assistant Grace Makutsi. This book is a gem. I will be visiting these women again soon.

Finally got around to this series again. I started it years ago, but didn’t remember a thing. On to No. 2
The stories were cute, but overall, I found the book boring and not worth the read.
LOVED this book!! I want to be just like Precious, the main character. She is brilliant!!! Oh...I cried at the end...not because it was sad, because I didn't want it to be over so soon! I just ordered the next in the series and will be checking my mailbox EVERY day until it arrives! What a great book!!!!
