This is the 3rd book in the "No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency" series.

From the back cover:

In Morality for Beautiful Girls, Precious Ramotswe, founder and owner of Botswana's only detective agency for the "concerns of both ladies and others," investigates the alleged poisoning of the brother of an important "Government Man," and the moral character of the four finalists of the Miss Beauty and Integrity Contest, the winner of which will almost certainly be a contestant for the title of Miss Botswana. Meanwhile, the agency is having money problems, and when unexpected difficulties arise at the Tlokweng Road Speedy Motors, she discovers that her fiance, the reliable Mr. J. L. B. Matekoni, is more complicated than he seems.

I've decided to mail this out in the order of the requests received, with the exception of a request to be near the end by Ardy and hitting the US before going to Canada.

Mailed on June 23rd.

It's as easy as 1, 2, 3 (and, 4!)

1. When you receive the book, make a journal entry so we can all see that it has arrived safely.

2. PM the next person on the list to request their address. (If you haven't had a reply from them after a week and two PM's, move on to the next name down and drop me a line to let me know what's happened- we can always loop back for anyone who misses out due to e-mail problems, etc.

3. Read the book, and make a journal entry to let us know what you thought.

4. Make release notes/a journal entry to say when the book is leaving your hands and who'll be catching it next, and mail it (please use delivery confirmation for an additonal 55 cents).

Thanks for joining and I hope everyone enjoys the book as much as I did.

The 3rd installment of "The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency" was just as rich and charming as the first two. Precious Ramotswe has her work cut out for her this time with financial problems and fiancee problems.

I am enjoying this book very much, however I've gotten involved in too many rings/rays and I can't actually devote the time needed for any of them. I am sending all rings/rays in my house off to the next person. I've noted all the titles and added them to my wish list so I can keep an eye out for them after things have settled down in my life (divorce and relocating to another state, along with finding new employment).

I am really enjoying this series! Precious Ramotswe is a wonderful endearing character and I love hearing about the community she lives in and her quiet fiance, Mr. J. L. B. Matekoni. I will be getting the next installment from the library anyday now so I can't wait to read and see what happens next!

Read this while I was recuperating from an accident (sorry to have kept it for so long) - good light fare, although I didn't enjoy this one as much as the previous entries in the series....loved the beauty pageant finalists though! Thanks for sharing this.

I just finished reading this book and although it was a quick read and entertaining, I found it ended sooner than I'd hoped. I would have liked to hear more about the interaction with the little boy as well as more of the conversation with the winner of the beauty pageant, etc..
Will PM Alsgal for her addy.
Thanks again to you Betsy for allowing my participation. :-)
