I was really disappointed with this installment because I felt like it wasn’t about the mystery as much as being about boring daily Botswana stuff. Now I know these books are a light detective story and I usually like learning all about life in Botswana but this time it wasn’t doing anything for me and I got bored. I loved the other four because they had a really interesting mystery intertwined with the daily story of Mma Ramotswe but this one took quite a few chapters before we came across our mystery. In the end, I hate to say this, I didn’t finish the audiobook. Instead I looked online to find out what happened in the end and I kinda wished I had finished the book because something really important happened. Oh well! I think i’ll wait a while before I read the next one.

Finally! Precious Ramotswe and Mr J L B Matekoni get married.gabmc's review

Mama Ramotswe and Mr JLB Matekoni are still not married and she is wondering if they ever will be - but she doesn't want to put any pressure on him. She is busy enough with a big case: to find out which suitors of Mma Holonga, a rich woman with many hair braiding salons, love her and are not courting her for her money. Precious also has something else to deal with - Mma Potokwani who runs the orphan farm has asked Mr Matekoni to do something special to fundraise for the orphan farm. And Mr Matekoni has another mechanic that he is not very happy with. All in all, a lovely light read.

I love this series of books. They are so refreshingly simple. They all make me feel a sense of inner calm and peace. We should all just sit down, watch cattle and drink bush tea (herbal, of course). These books are like a delicious piece of fudge. I like to savor each one since the pieces are so small. Delightful.
