I agree with one review that it is hard to get involved in to begin with, but once you do... I really enjoy learning about different cultures, traditions and habits. I think this was a book that my daughter had to read for school, but I decided to read it. I am glad that I made that decision.

I found the audio version to be utterly charming. No real violence, no forensics, just a clever, confident woman solving problems to help her community and make a living.

Excellent read! This book gives the reader a sense of the basic important issues of love, fun, life, how to deal with sadness and other important issues we deal with everyday.

Solving many different mysteries, Patience lives her life - with some surprises along the way.
