Book Description:
The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency For All Confidential Matters and Inquiries Satisfaction Guaranteed for all Parties
Under Personal Management

The phenomenal success of The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency continues with the bestselling Kalahari Typing School for Men, the fourth book in the series. Mma Precious Ramotswe is content. Her business is well established with many satisfied customers, and in her mid-thirties ("the finest age to be") she has a house, two adopted children, a fine fiance. But, as always, there are troubles. Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni has not set the date for their marriage. Her able assistant, Mma Makutsi, wants a husband. And worse, a rival detective agency has opened in town -- an agency that does not have the gentle approach to business that Mma Ramotswe's does. But, of course, Precious will manage these things, as she always does, with her uncanny insight and her good heart.

Excellent entertaining light read. Gives you background and current culture in Botswana, Interesting character development. Womans interest primarily I would think. Mystery, detective element not primary.

I love this whole series of books. This particular one is one of my favorites as it goes deeper into the life of MMe.R's secretary. You get to understand her character better and it can be amusing at times as well.

Enjoyable 4th book by Alexander McCall Smith in his series of the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency. Precious has some competetion as another detective agency opens in town and Mma Makutsi starts her own business and maybe finds a possible husband.

Gosh, these women keep themselves busy. First they open the detective agency, then they move into the fiance's motor shop, and now the assistant wants to start her own business! Really good read.

One of a series under the umbrella of "The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency".
Delightful tales of a makeshift detective agency in Botswana Africa which is run by two native ladies who solve all sorts of mysteries while trying to maintain their personal lives. Funny, endearing and very much worth the read. "The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency" is the first book in the series of six. I have posted in addition to the first book and this one" "Morality For Beautiful Girls" and "Tears Of The Giraffe"
