Anna S. (Bustercaesarmom) reviewed The Full Cupboard of Life (No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, Bk 5) (Large Print) on + 68 more book reviews
As with the other books in the "No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency" series, this book isn't as good as the original. The descriptions of Africa are still wonderful, and the bits of local flavor injected through language choices and food are nice, but the plot is a little bit thin. There's only one "case" being investigated by the agency, and it is only lightly explored. If you want a mystery, this isn't your book. But, if you want to sip a cup of bush and tea and spend a few hours hanging out with Mme. Ramotswe, this book is a pleasant way to spend an afternoon.
