Beth’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for The Miracle at Speedy Motors (No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency #9)

The Miracle at Speedy Motors (No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency #9) by Alexander McCall Smith

8 highlights

A Man With One of Those Faces (Dublin Trilogy publication order, #1; Dublin Trilogy chronological order, #6)
