This charming book is set in Botswana and tells of a detective agency run by Mma Precious Ramotswe. Precious shows her love for her country in such a way that you can smell the dust, see the sunsets, hear the buzz of the insects. The cases Precious takes on are not your typical murder and mayhem, but rather more seemingly mundane cases of missing husbands, stolen cars, missing children, and con men. But the real heart of this book is the simple wisdom and kindness Precious uses to help her clients. And in so doing, she gives us a glimpse into her soul.
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes Africa, books with strong heroines, cozy books, and those who are looking for something a little different to while away a lazy evening.
