This is the latest in the "No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency" series, and as much fun as all the other books! The series is a look into a culture that many of us will never see, with a wise and charming "traditional" African lady. Fun for mystery fans, and fun for anyone who likes smart women as well!

This series is delightful! And though you can pick up any book and read it alone, it is so much better to start at the beginning (#1 Ladies' Detective Agency). This one features a lot of Mma Makutsi, whom I happen to like a lot. I don't want to give anything away, just know that this latest installation is lots of fun!

This is book is #7 in the series.

This story takes place in Botswana. A cobra has been found in Precious Ramotswe's office, faulty blood pressure readings are discovered in a local medicl office. There's a new advice columnist with rather curt advice. Do Mma Makutsi"s fahionable new blue shoes buy her happiness?

More from Precious Ramotswe and her marvelous detective agency. Precious is part social worker, part seer and part sensible-lady-next-door.

As good as the previous stories. Mma Ramotswe lets the reader know that she gets tired of hearing about Mma Makutsi's "97% score" at secreterial college.

As with all the books in the series, I loved this one too. Unfortunatley, it reads like it may be the last of the series - that would be a real shame. I like to escape to Botswana for an easy read, a good adventure, and to visit with old friends at the #1 Ladies Detective Agency.

Charming, chuckle-inducing, and sprinkled with wisdom. I love this series!
