The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency is by Alexander McCall Smith. The first in a new series of mysteries by the author. An entertaining and hilarious new addition to the mystery genre. After the death of her father Precious Ramotswe sells his cattle and sets up the first ladies' detective agency in Botswana. The first book introduces Precious and her family history and covers her first series of cases. These include missing husbands, swindling con artists, and kidnapping. A wonderful walk through African culture. I hope the rest of the series is as good as the opener.
Ratings: 9th grade - 10 out of 10 - MP (mild profanity) - AC (mature thematic content).
