This is one of the best No. 1 Ladies novels in a while. A misunderstanding between Precious and her friend and colleague, Mma Makutsi, creates tension, and carries through most of the story. I confess that I was hoping as the story unfolded that Mma Makutsi would get a bit of a comeuppance, since she has evolved into a character I don't like very much. But, the conclusion brings about something else, and I can only hope that Mma Makutsi learns some new life skills without having to be dressed down too harshly by Mma Ramotswe. This story is brimming with the humanity that I have come to expect from this great lady, and I continue to be satisfied with the continuing saga of Botswana.
Another lovely book in this series. One of the things I love best about these books is how the characters have grown and changed over the years. The relationship between Mma Ramotswe and Mma Makutsi takes a big leap forward in this one.

Another pleasant entry in the series. But listening to it was a bit challenging because so many characters had the same last name - they were a big extended family - and I had trouble keeping the relationships straight.
It always makes me smile to read about these characters, love this series :)

Another of the quirky little mystery novels in the #1 Ladies Detective series. If you have liked the others in the series, you will like this one. Mma Ramotswe goes on holiday.
What a disappointment! It took me so long to finish this book because it just wasn't grabbing me. The good part was that much was done in this novel to advance the character of Grace Makutsi.
