This is the first in the series featuring Mma Precious Ramotswe, who opens a private detective agency in Botswana with the money left to her by her father. She is the first woman detective in that country.
Precious seems able to see through to the core of the matter most of the time when problems are given to her, although not all of the time. The stories use the setting to great advantage, and presents a different view of Africa, and the people of Botswana.
The book is more a series of short stories strung together, than an
actual novel. I enjoyed it, although the pace seemed to be rather
slow. I'm looking forward to reading others in the series.
This is a part of the 2014 Around the World Challenge. Africa--Botswana
