I've enjoyed this charming series for some years. Mdm Ramotswe goes on holiday while Mdm Matuski runs the office.

Another good one from those lovable characters, living their lives, in Botswana.

Another entry in the Ladies' Detective Agency series. Mma Ramotswe goes on holiday, but does she really. She entrusts her partner with a case. A boy finds his mother. From these themes Smith writes another enjoyable story.

I particularly liked the Samuel story. Regarding Mma Makutsi, though, I wonder if McCall-Smith is intentionally trying to make Mma Makutsi unlikeable so that whenever she does something good, we're happily surprised.

Filled with gentle wisdom and humour.

I so agree with cknightkc. Besides the story is the rich sharing of Botswana, and the customs, search and hope for progress, while retaining the identity. The author keeps up with the changing times, injects the wisdom of the narrative,…

This was a particularly delightful installment in the popular series. Very enjoyable. Love of one's country and treating one's fellow human beings with grace are motifs. One note on the above description: Mme. Ramotswe does not ask…

Having read the previous instalment, I was curious as to how Makutsi's latest business venture was going to be followed on from. I didn't get the insight I wanted about this topic but perhaps that is to be expected in such a series as…

This was a joy from beginning to end. The perfect anodyne for getting out of post war Italy! (was reading Marco Vichi; Inspector Bordelli) Precious and gang help us remember we're all the same, no matter what. Just take some time to…

Who would think that the 16th book in the Ladies Detective Agency series would be my favorite, but it is. Power-hungry Mma Makutsi takes over the angency while Mma Romotswe is “forced” to take a vacation. I sort of saw this story as the…

Always such a pleasure to read the Mma Ramotswe series. I thought that the explanation of the main mystery was missing something, but it didn't detract very much from my enjoyment of this book.

Grace Makutsi arranges for Precious Ramotswe to take a vacation, although Mma Ramotswe is not sure that she wants one. Despite miscommunication and misgivings, the entanglements of a case that seems to be going awry, Violet Sephotho, and…

THE WOMAN WHO WALKED IN SUNSHINE is another charming addition to a series in which the plot has become secondary to the characters and their relationships. Author Alexander McCall Smith quietly interjects wisdom and humor in his writing.…

As always, stellar storytelling. This one is more about a test to the strength of Mma Ramotswe's and Mma Makutsi's relationship than indivuduals' needs in private detection. Mr. Polopetsi makes a brief return appearance and another stray…
