It took a bit to get into this book, but curiosity kept me going to see how it connected. It is full of little stories with mysteries that need to be solved, mixed in with a bit of philosophy and descriptions of Afrika. Not a typical mystery, but a delightful quick read.

I found this book last summer while browsing Half Price Books. I recognized the title as a book often recommendation in my FB book group so thought I would give it a try.
While semi-interesting, I couldn't really get into it. I wanted to love it because I've seen it recommended so many times but I thought it was just an ok book.

A mellow journey through various daily mysteries in the lives of villagers in Botswana. There's such a laid back feeling of African life represented in these stories. Easy reading. I'm looking forward to reading more in this series.

I'm surprised that I hadn't read this book sooner, not sure what I thought it was about, but it turned out to be better than I expected. Mma Ramotswe is such a likable character, I will definitely want to revisit this series.
