The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency (No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, #1)

"I love the simplicity, the kindness, the honesty of the main character and her sense of place which makes her who she is. I also love her inquisitiveness, not to say, kind meddlesomeness, which leads her to solve the problems of those who need her services. Mma Ramotswe is a breath of fresh air in a jaded genre."
