About this product

Product Information

THE NO. 1 LADIES' DETECTIVE AGENCY - Book 7 Fans around the world adore the best-selling No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series and its proprietor, Precious Ramotswe, Botswana's premier lady detective. In this charming series, Mma Ramotswe--with help from her loyal associate, Grace Makutsi--navigates her cases and her personal life with wisdom, good humor, and the occasional cup of tea. A cobra has been found in Precious Ramotswe's office. Then a nurse from a local medical clinic reveals that faulty blood-pressure readings are being recorded there. And Botswana has a new advice columnist, Aunty Emang, whose advice is rather curt for Mma Ramotswe's taste. All this means a lot of work for our heroine and her inestimable assistant, Grace Makutsi, and they are, of course, up to the challenge. But there' s trouble brewing in Mma Makutsi's own life. When Phuti Radiphuti misses their customary dinner date, she begins to wonder if he is having second thoughts about their engagement. And while Mma Makutsi may be able to buy that fashionably narrow (and uncomfortable) pair of blue shoes, it may not buy her the happiness that Mma Ramotswe promises her she'll find in the simpler things--in contentment with the world and enough tea to smooth over the occasional bumps in the road.

A pleasure." - Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Praise for In the Company of Cheerful Ladies: National Bestseller "Beloved Botswana sleuth Precious Ramotswe is back and better than ever in this sixth entry in McCall Smith's bestselling series. . . . By turns laugh-out-loud funny and quietly profound, these life-affirming mysteries are fine company, indeed." Booklist, starred review "Like clove oil on a bad tooth, McCall Smith's fiction acts on cynicism as an effective, old-fashioned balm." The Globe and Mail "May be the most compelling of the lot. . . . It begins with an incident that crystallizes McCall Smith's skill. Ultimately it is a matter of petty thievery, but his handling of it dramatizes the moral underpinnings of these books. . . . [Mma Ramotswe's] strength and the source of her enormous appeal is her understanding of the human heart, and her willingness to confront its perfidies." New York Daily News "These books offer a sunnily lit window into another world, along with a modicum of relief from certain aspects of modern Western culture. They never descend into mere escapism, though. A few hours spent with Precious Ramotswe and her friends is always time well spent." St. Louis Post-Dispatch "[The] sixth entry in McCall Smith's consistently delightful series. . . Amid the hilarious scenarios and quiet revelations are luminous descriptions of Botswana, land of wide-open spaces and endless blue skies."

    Love This Series

    More from Precious and the gang at the detective agency and motor repair shop. A wonderful series that almost anyone could like. Light and sweet, but still well worth reading, great people and lots of learning involved.

    Who doesn't like new shoes?

    I enjoyed this so much. You feel like you are there. You feel like you've known the characters all of your life. The common sense, the thrills and the sadness at times - you feel as well. It's a great read.
