2.The Kalahari Typing School for Men : More from the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency by: Alexander McCall Smith April 29, 2003

I adore these books. Because I love giraffes, a friend gave me Tears of the Giraffe as a gift. Thus I discovered the series, and have read every installment. The pace is so relaxing without dragging that they are perfect beach/mountain/vacation reads, or an afternoon treat on a rainy day. Love the books, Alexander!

3.Blue Shoes and Happiness (No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency, Book 7) by: Alexander Mccall Smith March 13, 2007

Title notwithstanding, this series from Alexander McCall Smith doesn't make its living in the detective genre. Precious Ramotswe does indeed run the only ladies' detective agency in Botswana, but her investigations are incidental to the easy-going interactions of her daily life. We find Mma Ramotswe musing over letters to a newspaper agony aunt and considering how wrongdoings affect those around us. Oh yes, she does investigate, armed with common sense and a copy of Clive Anderson's "Principles of Private Detection" and assisted by Grace Makutsi, star graduate of the Botswana Secretarial College. The ladies investigate blackmail, medical fraud, and a vague "something wrong" at a game preserve. The resolution of these cases further highlights the human foibles of greed and superstition.

In this installment, Mma Makutsi transforms from the Ugly Betty of the office into a lovely swan. I love all the books in the series, but this one in particular!

I had the pleasure of meeting the author this year at a talk at a local university and he is just as charming as you would think. Another great story from this super-creative guy!

This was the first book in this series that I have read. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The plot is exciting but relaxing to enjoy, and there are so many subplots that make it truly fun. The gentle, eye-opening descriptions of a truer Africa were fascinating to me. I heartily recommend this book!

7.The Miracle at Speedy Motors: The New Novel in the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency Series (No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency) by: Alexander Mccall Smith April 15, 2008

These books by McCall Smith are those that I read when the world gets me down. I love Mme Ramotswe, her ability to find the good in people and positive in situations. She loves her country (Botswana), her husband, and her children. As a "traditional" woman, she is unfettered by her bulk, enjoying the bright patterns of her native land. Although the plots are often skimpy, the people are delightful, and I love reading about an African nation that has a democratic government and healthy children.

8.The No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency by: Alexander Mccall Smith November 01, 2005

To be honest, I started this book about 3 times and then put it down, until I read the reviews here on Amazon. It was recommended to me by a friend who said I would love it, but I did not know what the heck it was about at first. Then I read the reviews and started it again and I love it. I am about halfway through, and really enjoy "Precious" s character and her honest take on life. It is a lovely, honest book about life in Africa and the detective agency Precious creates. I will defintiely check out the next books in the series!

44 Scotland Street This was a different kind of story from the ones I have read by this author, but it was interesting and fun, once I got into the personalities of the various interwoven characters. It ended with open possibilities, so that I am sure there will be a sequel to the story. I shall look for it to come out.
