Customer Reviews

No l ladies detective agency books
These are the best. A great read, leaves you feeling happy you
entered this world.

Delightful
When I get any of this author's books, all else falls by the wayside until I emerge, smiling, after spending a day or two in Africa or Scotland or wherever he places his wonderful characters. The No. Ladies Detective Agency series is peopled with particularly gently drawn heroines and heroes.

I wish I could have tea with Mma Ramotswe. I wish Mr. J.L.B. Matekone could care for my car.

The No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith
This is a wonderful novel.
No.1 Ladies Detective Agency (three novels by Alexander McCall Smith tell the story of the delightful cunning and extremely charming Precious Ramotswe. Ramotswe is drawn to her profession to help people with the trouble in their everyday lives. Instantly upon setting up shop in a small storefront in Gaborone, they hire her to track down a missing husband, uncover a fraud man, and follow a naughty daughter. However the case that tugs at her heart, and lands her in danger, is that of a missing eleven years old boy, who may have been snatched by witch doctors.
The story touches the bones and heart all at once. Nevertheless, Smith is a sincere loving person in heart, writes therefore this good novel. (This is my subjective feeling of course) I haven't met Alexander. But I can assure the public he is a person who loves people.
I have a long experience of watching weavers, this is a similar product, a product of hard work, combing and spinning the wool and here we see similar good product as a result, an extraordinary nuance tapestry by Alexander McCall Smith. How did I discover this novel? It pays to wander at the Amazon forest.
