Wayward daughters. Missing Husbands. Philandering partners. Curious conmen. If you've got a problem, and no one else can help you, then pay a visit to Precious Ramotswe, Botswana's only - and finest - female private detective. Her methods may not be conventional, and her manner not exactly Miss Marple, but she's got warmth, wit and canny intuition on her side, not to mention Mr J. L. B. Matekoni, the charming proprietor of Tlokweng Road Speedy Motors. And Precious is going to need them all as she sets out on the trail of a missing child, a case that tumbles our heroine into a hotbed of strange situations and more than a little danger ...Delightfully different, THE NO.1 LADIES' DETECTIVE AGENCY offers a captivating glimpse of an unusual world.

Arrived in the post from Australia today, thanks so much bekoh! I'm really looking forward to reading this one.

Thanks for sharing this it was very enjoyable and relaxing. This book transports you to a different way of life in Botswana and it was a gentle, delightful read. It's not as hard hitting or gritty as your bog standard detective story, but it seems all the better for it. Though there are several unsavory events, you get the feeling everything will turn out okay in the end. Well, apart from the guy who gets eaten by a crocodile. Looking forward to reading more in this series.
