Search - The Good Husband of Zebra Drive (No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, Bk 8)

My husband and I both read this latest installment and we really enjoyed this one. It has more than one subplot, and held our attention. As always, the writing is wonderful. This series is like comfort food – always satisfying even if it doesn’t have the most substance. No profanity, no real violence—just great entertainment. If you've never read this series, start with the first one, and just know that each one gets better and better!

I enjoy these books because the characters are always so constant. I love how Mma Makutsi talks to her shoes and is a little fiesty at times. I love how Mr. JLB Matekoni is quiet and unassuming and kind. I love Mma Ramotswe's philosphy on life and the way people should be treated. This book of the series had some good conflict which was solved to the betterment of all involved.

Once you get into this series you fall in love with the characters and can't get enough of them. There is more character development than drama in this book, but it is entertaining and endearing. this one was particularly enjoyable.

It's been a while since I read these (Kalahari Typing School was the last), and I would say that the characters are becoming more, as she would say, complicated.

I've really become hooked on these books. Whether dealing with serious issues or lighthearted ones, the characters never fail to shine, and their warmth and humanity are irresistible.

Precious Ramotswe does it again.
