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.
