Very average book. You know how some thrillers bought in an airport book shop are like "dad books" this is like that but a "mom book" in my opinion lol.

Wanted to reread it since i liked it as a teen. It's an alright book but a bit basic.

tpasta's review against another edition

Why is a graphic rape scene included in a lighthearted book about a woman opening a detective agency? That paired with the fact that the book was written by a white man…

A short and easygoing book. I enjoyed Mma Ramotswe's optimism and determination with solving the cases. I've also not read much set in Africa so it was good to read about this part of the world, clearly written with a deep love. Will definitely be picking up the rest of the series at some point.
