The No. 1 Ladies' Detective AgencyFor All Confidential Matters and InquiriesSatisfaction Guaranteed for all PartiesUnder Personal ManagementThe phenomenal success of The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency continues with the bestselling Kalahari Typing School for Men, the fourth book in the series.Mma Precious Ramotswe is content. Her business is well established with many satisfied customers, and in her mid-thirties ("the finest age to be") she has a house, two adopted children, a fine fiance. But, as always, there are troubles. Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni has not set the date for their marriage. Her able assistant, Mma Makutsi, wants a husband. And worse, a rival detective agency has opened in town--an agency that does not have the gentle approach to business that Mma Ramotswe's does. But, of course, Precious will manage these things, as she always does, with her uncanny insight and her good heart.From the Trade Paperback edition.

It's been many years since I've read the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, but I remember really liking it, so at some point, I picked up this book from further along in the series. It is a pleasant read, although there isn't really much actual mystery in this one. In fact, there isn't much story arc at all. It's more just a nice opportunity to get to know Mma Ramotswe and the people in her life.
I'm tempted to move to
Botswana after reading
this series; the author
has made me fall in love
with this country and her
people.
