Completely charming, addicitive book! Precious Ramotswe is fabulous! 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 detective agency. I loved this book. Simple, cute, an easy read and completely charming. Each chapter is one of Precious Ramotswe investigations. And, as the blurb says, these aren't horrendous murders and acts of terrorism she's investigating, she doesn't have a gun and conduct high speed... more info
Very enjoyable and warm, but also a little flat and predictable Charming, warm sequence of interlinked tales about an engaging, intelligent matriach figure who solves local mysteries in Botswana. Easy to read and enjoyable, but the characterisations are rather flat, the stories somewhat predictable, and the simplicity of the writing sometimes is just too simple to be all that interesting.
Not really a mystery, more a life story ... A very quick book to read, very enjoyable but i wouldn't necessarily call it a mystery or crime book. There are crimes committed and mysteries solved but really what we're reading about is how people live in this particular county at this particular time. None the less it reads very well, perfect poolside reading i would say and i'm looking forward to the next installment.
A treat! You don't have to read this before reading the others in the series as they stand alone . I'm enjoying the series very much. The characters are lively and real, the situations, human and believable. The style of writing is very interesting as it feels as if a polite, quite well-spoken African is speaking . I've been spurred on to read them all now and have also been finding out about Botwana. I can imagine visiting the places described and actually meeting the characters, they seem so real!
