It is such a treat and a delight to read these books. I indeed feel like I am in the company of cheerful ladies, sharing a cup of tea with Mma Ramotswe and Mma Makutsi. Highly recommend this wonderful series!

Number six in the series. As sometimes is the case, there are some dips into serious matters in this episode of the series. Mma Ramotswe is confronted with some painful details of her past, the tiny white van is stolen, Mma Makutsi is embarrassed at a dance class, etc. But I don’t think it is a spoiler to say that most of the wrongs are righted by the end. Nothing much happens in these books, they are very repetitive I couldn’t read more than one in a row. But .interspersed with other books, I find them very soothing to read/listen to. I mostly listened to this on audio as narrated by Lisette Lecat who is marvelous.

This is my 6th of this series and I enjoyed it, but I feel like it's time to stop having also every character called by their full name all the time. I'll be doing these as filler between other books; I bought a bunch when they were on sale on Audible. It was worth it. I've copied some parts of the past reviews to save time.

Precious Ramotswe is a Private Inspector and founder of the "No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency". She has an assistant, a husband who is an auto mechanic, and two foster children. There are multiple mysteries in this, one involving a man who Precious caused to fall off his bicycle. Another involves a garage apprentice seeing an older woman.

Although Alexander McCall Smith is a white man, he did grow up in the area and he seems to understand a lot about issues and traditions. I would like to see how some local people think about these books.

The narration is excellent and I look forward to the next book in the series. The narration is 5 stars!

Mma Ramotswe totally rockin' it again!
