Book #6 of The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency.

FROM THE PUBLISHER
"Precious Ramotswe finds herself overly beset by problems. She is already busier than usual at the detective agency when added to her concerns are a strange intruder in her house on Zebra Drive and the baffling appearance of a pumpkin. And then there is Mma Makutsi, who decides to treat herself to dance lessons, only to be partnered with a man who seems to have two left feet. Nor are things running quite as smoothly as they usually do at Tlokweng Road Speedy Motors. Mma Ramotswe's husband, the estimable Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni, is overburdened with work even before one of his apprentices runs off with a wealthy woman. But what finally rattles Mma Ramotswe's normally unshakable composure is a visitor who forces her to confront a secret from her past." All this unfolds against the sunlit background of Mma Ramotswe's beloved homeland, Botswana - a land of empty spaces, echoing skies, and an endless supply of soothing bush tea.

Another enjoyable read from Alexander McCall Smith.

Journal Entry 5 by JeepACV from Baltimore, Maryland USA on Saturday, May 28, 2005

I enjoyed this latest installment of Alexander McCall Smith's series as much as I have the entire series. It certianly hasn't gotten tiring yet.

Some new characters involved at the garage, which is always a good thing. Also, the dance lessons were hilarious!

This will be heading home to carlissa in FL sometime after the holiday break. Thanks again for passing these two books along!
