In a word, bland. Set in Botswana, this is the first in a series about a woman detective. While the main character, Precious Ramotswe, is endlessly likeable- generous, dry-witted, and endlessly nosey, the story dragged along, with no real high points, and no real low points. I found the setting, modern Africa, much more interesting than the story itself, and maybe there's value in that as well. But I doubt I'll be looking into the rest of the books in this series.
