Light and appealing. Just enough sub-stories to keep the gentle pace going. Charming.

A cute book, set in Botswana, where a woman starts a her own detective agency. Most chapters feature a stand-alone case to be solved, but there are a couple of ongoing storylines throughout the book. Makes me want to check out the HBO series sometime--I think the characters would transfer well to a tv show.
