And thank heavens that Mma Makutsi's new glasses went the way of Mma Ramotswe's diet! I can't bear any changes of appearance in either of them. View all 4 comments.

They will make you think; they make me laugh and cry but every single one of these books is stitched into my soul.

When I need to reorient myself to peace and happiness, this is where I turn. There should be a genre for "light, but not too light, wise and funny reads" and if there were, this series would lead the charge. When you're looking for an escape read without too much drama, no sex or violence, and plenty of smiles, you can't beat this series.

And if you enjoy audiobooks, you can't do better than Lisette Lecat's narration of every book in this series. I sometimes reread books, but I've read this series through twice and now rereading them all a year later. I didn't plan to but after rereading the second one, it just naturally led in to the third one and so on.

There is enough going on in the world right now to lead a gentle heart to ruin, and if you need refreshment from that, this series fills the bill. I can't think of any other series I feel this way about. Nobody does kindness like Mma. I wish Alexander McCall Smith could teach classes on it. But he doesn't need to.

This series does that for him. Lisette Lecat, the audiobook narrator for this entire series, can't be outdone with her performances of these books. This series is wonderful, the audios are possibly even better, you'll learn a lot about Botswana, you'll smile, you'll cry at times too, these books are everything I look for in a book.

I need to buy the whole series so I can underline and highlight to my little heart's content! These are perfect to have on your MP3 player for when you can't sleep. There's no non-stop action, they're just warm and wise. Usually no murders, just hometown stuff. I enjoy them. May 11, P-eggy rated it really liked it Shelves: reviewed , fiction. Another feel-good book about the no. The plots are irrelevant, the many characters are beautifully-drawn and the author's love of Botswana shines through.

Indeed, one of the pleasures of this series of books, The No.

Aug 12, Jessica rated it it was amazing Recommends it for: people who enjoy the cadence of language. I cannot get the rhythm of the writing out of my head. These books surprised me, because most detectives investigate murders and stuff, and I hate murder mysteries.

A lot. Sorry, Jen. I love you! On top of that, they are really fast to read, and finishing a book always makes me feel good about myself.

The Miracle at Speedy Motors (No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency)

I don't read them in order, so don't let this review fool you--I haven't read them all. Eventually I wil These books surprised me, because most detectives investigate murders and stuff, and I hate murder mysteries. Eventually I will. As usual, after having finished this one, I carried Precious Ramotswe around in my head for several days, pretending and wishing we were friends. To the extent that when the Botswana team marched into National Stadium, I did an extra little cheer for them, because that's where my friend is from.

It's a sickness. Jul 24, Una Tiers rated it it was amazing. What a lovely visit with friends! Smith conveys a warmth in the series that is ignited with every book. Mar 17, Dorothy rated it really liked it Shelves: cozy-mysteries. I love this series by Alexander McCall Smith. Each entry is charming, witty, and compassionate in its understanding of human frailties and human relationships.

Each one is such a pleasure to read that the reader dreads coming to the end. The mysteries that Precious Ramotswe solves are not grand and important mysteries involving murder, theft, and drugs. They are the every day mysteries that people struggle with. Who were my real parents? Who is writing threatening letters and why?

Is this man really who he says he is?

Product description

Mma Ramotswe tackles these mysteries with all her energy, passion, and determination and she changes people's lives in the process. And not only the lives of her clients, but those of her family and her associates as well. She changes the reader's life, too, I think. I am a better, more patient, and more understanding person for having read these quirky novels.

Spending time in a McCall Smith Botswana novel is like a gentle vacation in an idyllic land where everyone is basically decent and caring and wants to do the right thing. Maybe it is a fantasy land, but once you are there and once you are hooked, you never want to leave. Would probably rate this as 3. I really like this series, but some of the books are not as good as others. For some reason this one did not appeal to me as much. Perhaps because it seemed repetitive in some ways.

Events moved along slowly, but it's more Mma Ramotswe's character. At times her patience, and for want of a better word, 'kindness' is grating. She seems to always understand the failings of others, but also to acknowledge her own except about the tiny white van. I guess I'd like to Would probably rate this as 3. I guess I'd like to see her get rip-roaring mad one time. Maybe that's why I like Mma Makutsi better.

What’s The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency about?

She has less 'goodness', but is more realistic, especially about Mma Potokwane. Precious Ramotswe seems to need to be 'right' in all her dealings with everybody. In this book she takes on her usual cases, but because of her trust in Mma Potokwane's memory, she almost makes a huge mistake. As usual though, things work out.

She almost makes another mistake about Mr. Palopetsi, but is saved from that by Charlie, the eternal apprentice. This is not a series for those who demand real mysteries, but it is an enjoyable one, which explores a world foreign to most of us. I loved the scene when they were discussing their shock that Americans drink iced tea. Precious Ramotswe's Botswana is filled with people who have their heart in the right place.

And so the series, despite a tinge of bad, is a land of rainbows and sunshine. Nothing much happens in the book from a point of view of a book that has a story to tell. There is a new client who wants to find her original family, there are a couple of threatening letters and there is a new hope for their daughter's condition.

And yet none of them really matter, as much as discovering the niceness in peopl Precious Ramotswe's Botswana is filled with people who have their heart in the right place. And yet none of them really matter, as much as discovering the niceness in people, especially in Mma Ramotswe. A feel good series this, though I am not sure I am cut out to read more in this series.
