alimar317 's review for:

The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith

---

I found this book to be quite charming. It might not be for most fans of the mystery genre, as the book is not particularly violent and it does not follow one major case throughout. The leisurely pace of the storytelling exemplifies the pace of Precious Ramotswe's life in her beloved Botwana. I enjoyed the descriptions of the lush African landscape. I also enjoyed learning how Mma Ramotswe's mind worked, how she used her intuition and her powers of observation to solve her cases. A very delightful read!
