Introduction

THE NO. 1 LADIES’ DETECTIVE AGENCY - Book 7

Fans around the world adore the best-selling No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency series and its proprietor, Precious Ramotswe, Botswana’s premier lady detective. In this charming series, Mma  Ramotswe—with help from her loyal associate, Grace Makutsi—navigates her cases and her personal life with wisdom, good humor, and the occasional cup of tea.

Life is good for Mma Ramotswe as she sets out with her usual resolve to solve people’s problems, heal their misfortunes, and untangle the mysteries that make life interesting. And life is never dull on Tlokweng Road. A new and rather too brusque advice columnist is appearing in the local paper. Then, a cobra is found in the offices of the No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency. Recently, the Mokolodi Game Preserve manager feels an infectious fear spreading among his workers, and a local doctor may be falsifying blood pressure readings. To further complicate matters, Grace Makutsi may have scared off her own fiancé. Mma Ramotswe, however, is always up to the challenge. And Blue Shoes and Happiness will not fail to entertain Alexander McCall Smith’s oldest fans and newest converts with its great wit, charm, and great good will.

I really only read the first in these series but I found the amazingly insightful and entertaining at the same time. What a great story teller, -and thats a fading art.

Our book club has been reading the series of the Ladies #1 Detective Agency. I liked this book, but it wasn't one of my favorites

 
  "Another fun installment of the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency"by Joanne L. (see profile) 09/03/09

I found this to be another light and refreshing read in this series. Although there weren't a lot of mysteries for Mma Ramotswe to solve it seemed like Smith spent some time setting things up for future... (read more)
