This book was not for me.  I contemplated dnf'ing it several times.  Normally I'm able to read a book that might be apart of a series, like it and go on to read the rest of the books.  That will not happen with this particular story.  It was very slow, I felt like there were several stereotypes that were presented, I did not really like most of the characters, and it dragged.  For a detective agency, there was a small snippet of them actually doing detective work,  This makes me not want to go back to any of the previous stories, and there are no guaranties that if i do, that It will change my mind about this story.

3.5 I love this series, love Mma Ramotswe, and liked this book - but didn't love it. It started out so slow for me. Grace has never been my favorite character and her behavior at the beginning of the book was ridiculous. Luckily, the story picked up in the middle and I enjoyed the ending. Unfortunately, the last couple books in this series have all been 3.5 star reads for me, while the earlier ones were often 4.5 and 5 star reads. I haven't given up on this series yet, but I'm hoping it gets on track to the way these books used to be.
