 Another brilliant outing for Mma Ramotswe and crew August 10, 2010
Dale A. Haines (England)
Alexander McCall Smith has produced yet another gem in the crown that is the No1 Ladies detective Agency series.
My experience is that you either love or loathe these books and I stand firmly in the Love camp.
Certain names are revealed in this book. I shan't say whose but it isn't Mr J L B Matekoni's forenames!
There's also a shock for Grace Makutsi and her fiancé but I shan't say what.
All the books in this series follow on from each other, and whilst you can read them out of sequence, I'd suggest to anyone considering starting in, then start at book one and work your way along.
As ever, a brilliant telling of human tales of life, sadness, deceit and joy in Botswana.

The continuing story of Mma Ramotswe is a pleasure. The author has captured the rhythym of Africa so well, the formality of society there as well as the challenges they face. Do start reading the series at the bginning or you will miss the development of the characters and how all the adventures fit together.
 Tea Time for the Traditionally Built The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agecy July 10, 2010
P. MacPherson (United Kingdom)
I have read all these books and having lived in Botswana can relate to Precious but I have to say it took me ages to finish because I did find it as colourful as previous books, the story lack substance.
 Not as funny as some of the others May 26, 2010

The first few books in this series gave me some laugh-out-loud moments, which this title didn't. Since I am a series junkie, however, and I love the characters of the No. 1 detective agency, I still enjoyed the story.
It is remarkable as the first book in the series which reveals the name of Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni's younger apprentice - which, of course, I am not going tell you.

Another very funny and refreshing book from AMS.
Mma Ramotswe and her crew make for gentle reading which is easy to read and easy to picture. The mental vision of Botswana remains in my head throughout the reading.
An excellent read - I enjoy the series.
