    Mma Ramotswe is Great Company
  

*by M***9 on Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2017*

Alexander McCall Smith never disappoints and "The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency" is  gift that just keeps on giving.  I love what I am learning about Africa and the African people.  AMS, obviously, loves Africa and its people, especially Botswana.  I'd love to sit with Mma Precious Ramotswe and share some Bush tea, some good conversation.  She is wise and compassionate.  I have a long way to go in the series but that is okay.  This means that I can enjoy some good company for quite a while. I would like to invite Alexander McCall Smith to have Bush tea with us too and some fruit cake.  The conversation would be so entertaining.I just saw a talk by Alexander McCall Smith at the Washington Library. It took place when Bush was in office. He spoke about "No 1 Ladies' Detective Agency" at length and he took questions. I could listen to this man speak forever.  I love his speaking voice and I love his laugh. He has a great laugh.  I like a good laugh and he has a really good laugh.  He is so cute and he has a great sense of humor.  I would love to see him in person.  I have so many questions for him.  I have to look at his schedule to see when he will be in NYC. I'd like to see him.  I don't know where this man gets the time to write all of these books, travel and teach at the University too. I am amazed by his energy.

    Great book
  

*by P***Z on Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2018*

I love this series and this book so much, but be prepared for a sad ending. I like the focus on Mma Makutsi and her ideas/life too. The author is very gifted and balances difficult things, like pain and heartbreak, with wit and beauty. I do wish it had been resolved differently at the end with what happened to Mma Makutsi and the man involved. This author sometimes will end a book on a note that feels sad and/or unresolved, and then I buy the next book hoping that story will continue and get fixed, but it doesn't in many cases. Worth the read and beautiful. This is a great series.

    Another charming Ladies Detective Agency Book
  

*by D***N on Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2011*

This is my 4th Alexander McCall Smith book in this series.  I still love them and have ordered more.That said, I must warn readers who are new to this series: this is not a "detective" series like Conan Doyle or C.S.I or any other modern detective series with evidence and dangerous culprits.No it is an interesting African woman who solves her assignments by listening to her clients with a good grasp of basic psychology and has fascinating ways of solving her puzzles. The puzzles or no more threatening than finding out what a husband is up to or locating a couple of people who someone needs to talk to.This particular novel explores the development of a side business for the agency asst. detective and a quick romance for her. The development of this character started in the previous novel and I expect it will continue. Also included are some small problems with her two adopted children.My only criticism of these novels is that they have long lectures on how people should behavior. There is a lot of comparison of the old Botswana ways of politeness vs modern day behavior. Both Precious - the main character and her assistant spend time reflecting on what people should do vs. what they actually do. It can get a bit tiresome sometimes.Nevertheless, I am enchanted by the descriptions of the land, the views of the cattle (which were a type of currency), and the various tribal stereotypes and the challenges presented.The books are fast reads and fun. I recommend them for a fun and different reading experience.
