The First Ladies Detective Agency books are mostly books about people. They are full of the everyday lives and conversations of the characters. Mma Ramotswe solves her cases due to her intuition and knowledge of people.

I have been reading such good books that I thought for sure I would not enjoy this one....this series is SO MUCH slower than the others and much more simple....but I was in love by page 30 or so and finished it quickly!!! I just love his writting and characters!!!
Another great book in the series. I'm always happy to have another visit with Mma Ramotswe & Co.

I still liked this book, but I found it less absorbing than the other ones. This is the 10th in the series. Maybe he is running out of fresh ideas? These books remind me of an afghan or quilt...nothing flashy or exciting but just comfy & cozy. They are enjoyable reads...but not "page turners." But I keep coming back to them because I really love characters.

A delightful read!
These books are so pure and sweet. Great words of wisdom can be found in each book. I have missed Precious, Grace and the other characters. Always a fulfilling read.
A little less engaging than some of the others.
