  • A Great Rainy Day Read

    Alexander McCall Smith has a way of transporting the reader into the story and wrapping them in concern for his characters. Isabel Dalhousie is a wonderfully in depth character, surrounded by unlikely friends, working in an unlikely job, in an unlikely place and yet, the author makes it all blend and work together wonderfully. Any of his books are friends to seek out, on a rainy day in. Settle in with a hot cup of tea and enjoy.

  • Careful Use of...

    I'm reading all of Smith's books I think they are a kick! After I read my first #1 Ladies Detective Agency book I ordered another one; and another, and another, and another. I was "hooked" on Precious Ramotse and loved reading the books. I have all that have been written, and then found one was actually Isabel Dalhousie, and another series with her the protagonist. I don't care for hers, Scotland, as much as the other. I relate better to the African setting.
