Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Try the audio version
If you enjoy reading about the #1 Ladies detective agency, but would like to putter in the garden or house at the same time - or listen while commuting - try the audio version. They're even more hilarious than reading!
Rating:  - Too slow and repetitive
I have enjoyed this series but this last book I found slow and rather boring.

I was getting so frustrated with the repetition... seemed like a third of the book was describing once again the white van, the large glasses, the traditionally built woman, and the landscape.

Rating: - Another good story
This is another good story in the series by Alexander McCall Smith. I enjoy reading about his respect for the landscape and traditions of this part of Africa. There is less "mystery" in this one than others which means it isn't as good as the first of the series, but still well worth reading.
Rating: - Heartwarming Series of Novels
I have read the entire series of No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency novels. My only complaint is that each of these is TOO SHORT. I like to spend a long time with a good novel, but reading one of these is extremely enjoyable but soon over...kind of like eating a tasty snack--addictive, but fleeting.
I love these books mainly because of their heroine, Precious Ramotswe--a common sense, "traditionally built" woman in modern Africa. She and her quirky assistant solve simple mysteries but explore ... Read More
