Title : The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency
Author : Alexander McCall Smith
Synopsis:
This first novel in Alexander McCall Smith's widely acclaimed The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency series tells the story of the delightfully cunning and enormously engaging Precious Ramotswe, who is drawn to her profession to "help people with problems in their lives." Immediately upon setting up shop in a small storefront in Gaborone, she is hired to track down a missing husband, uncover a con man, and follow a wayward daughter. But the case that tugs at her heart, and lands her in danger, is a missing eleven-year-old boy, who may have been snatched by witchdoctors.
My Thoughts:
This book is very amusing and refreshing. I like the writing style of the author and I definitely recommend this. It also tells a lot about African culture and moral lessons which I found really interesting. I've read the second book too, which is just as good. Books in this series include :
1. The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency
2. Tears of the Giraffe
3. Morality for Beautiful Girls
4. The Kalahari Typing School for Men
5. The Full Cupboard of Life
6. In the Company of Cheerful Ladies
7. Blue Shoes and Happiness
I think Alexander M.S. is still brewing up new stories to compliment the series..more updates when I have further news.
