A Song of Comfortable Chairs by Alexander McCall Smith

5.0

The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency is such an uplifting and enjoyable series, I look forward to each new book and like to save it for a special day when I can relax and savour it. The latest book in the series is even more heartfelt, because it doesn't have any new detective agency customers in the story, so the entire book is about the trials and tribulations of the main characters we've all grown to love.

Grace and Phuti are having problems with a new competitor trying to undercut their prices at the Double Comfort Furniture Store, and you can probably guess who is involved in this scheme! Mma Makutsi also helps an old friend from Bobonong who is having problems with her teenage son. And there are a few other interpersonal issues between staff members at the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency and Tlokweng Road Speedy Motors, but Mma Ramotswe and her colleagues are ready to handle every challenge with patience and compassion.

I was lucky to have access to both the ebook and audio for this story, and I kept switching back and forth between them because I couldn't decide which one I enjoyed more, but really you can't go wrong, either way this book is a wonderful, heartwarming experience!
