I want Mma Ramotswe as my friend. Of course, that means I have to read more books about her and The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency. She is a modern woman in a country struggling to become modern. Using money from the sale of cattle inherited from her father, Precious Ramotswe begins her own detective agency. She rights wrongs that include cheating husbands, missing children, witchcraft, and questions of identity and strange behavior.

With wit, wisdom, and insight into the people, culture and landscape of Botswana, the author draws the reader into Precious Ramotswe's life and adventures. The book is an easy read filled with joy, humor and insight. There is also a surprise ending.
