book report: The No. One Ladies' Detective Agency
The No. One Ladies' Detective Agency
by Alexander McCall Smith
This book was utterly charming. I'd heard so much about it that I thought I would be disappointed, but I wasn't.
Precious Ramotswe is a woman from Botswana who decides to start her own business as a private investigator after the death of her beloved father. She investigates cases, makes some new friends, and even has a little romance. She doesn't have a lot of formal education, but does have a great deal of common sense and courage, which make her a success in her new line of work.
This is the first book in a series - I will definitely read the rest.
