Alexander McCall Smith
The Full Cupboard of Life
The No.1 Ladies Detective Agency
198 pp.
Toronto: Alfred A. Knopf , 2003
No one delights the literary senses more than Alexander McCall Smith in his novels of life in Botswana. Mma Precious Ramotswe's intuition and kindness shines through her detective work as the number one lady detective in her country. Her secretary (pardon me, the administrative assistant), Mma Ramotswe's wedding plans are limping forward while the case of a wealthy woman occupies the agency. This novel is one of a series. All books require a cup of tea and the ability to enjoy simple acts of humanity.
