By Alexander McCall Smith
Though I'd previously read this book, it was delightful to rediscover Precious Ramotswe and the circumstances that led to the founding of her detective agency in Botswana. Her detective's intuition is reliable, though it is more the relationships we read about that give the book its charm. Precious has recently lost her beloved father to illness and it is his bequest that has allowed her to start her company. The characters treat one another with courtesy and respect (even if they are crime suspects) and seem to have a love for their country. It is fun to follow Precious's line of thought and see how her cases play out, whether she is trying to locate a missing object or a wayward husband.
The author has now completed his 19th book, The Colours of All the Cattle, in this popular series!
