THE NO. 1 LADIES DETECTIVE AGENCY - Book 11 Fans around the world adore the best-selling No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency series and its proprietor, Precious Ramotswe, Botswanas premier lady detective. In this charming series, Mma Ramotswewith help from her loyal associate, Grace Makutsinavigates her cases and her personal life with wisdom, good humor, and the occasional cup of tea. Readers will agree that this touching and dramatic new installment in Alexander McCall Smiths beloved and best-selling series is the finest yet. In this story, Precious Ramotswe deals with issues of mistaken identity and great fortune against the beautiful backdrop of Botswanas remote and striking Okavango Delta. Mma Ramotswe and Mma Makutsi head to a safari camp to carry out a delicate mission on behalf of a former guest who has left one of the guides a large sum of money. But once they find their man, Precious begins to sense that something is not right. To make matters worse, shortly before their departure Mma Makutsis fianc, Phuti Radiphuti, suffers a debilitating accident, and when his aunt moves in to take care of him, she also pushes Mma Makutsi out of the picture. Could she be trying to break up the relationship? Finally, a local priest and his wife independently approach Mma Ramotswe with concerns of infidelity, creating a rather unusual and tricky situation. Nevertheless, Precious is confident that with a little patience, kindness and good sense things will work out for the best, something that will delight her many fans.

Double comfort just about sums up these gentle mysteries set in Botswana. This time round Precious Ramotswe is asked to investigate an allegedly unfaithful husband and find a tourist guide who has been left a legacy. Also, Mma Makutsi's romance has run into difficulties.

Tamra This series is a warm hug. ☺️ 1y

Another excellent addition to the series. Love how Mma Ramotswe and Mma Makustsi brought in reinforcements to help deal with Phuti Radiphuti‘s aunt. Mma Pokowane is truly a force to be reckoned with!

Ruthiella Love this series! 😀 3y

Someday I do hope I will be able to go visit Botswana to see this land so beloved by Mma Romatswe and the rest of the cast of this series. I would love to have a safari while I‘m there, to see all the animals listed, but not seen, while Precious and Grace were detecting a case in the wild part of the country.

Sietje will have to stay home 🏡😊.

slategreyskies Botswana is really special. I‘ll never forget it. I do hope you get to go someday! It‘s the sort of place that gets in your heart. 💕 (edited) 4y

I‘m reserving judgement about Mexican Gothic... about a third through and not loving it so far, but this is not a genre I often read.

The Double Comfort Safari Club is another delightful Mma Romotswe story, 11th in the series, and I was able to get the audio from my library, which I think is the best way to enjoy these books.

I hope later this week to return to Middlegame and get started on Delicious Foods.

Cinfhen Im curious what you‘ll think of Delicious Foods \ I placed it in hibernation 😜 4y
Soubhiville @Cinfhen lol, because it was scary or because you didn‘t care for it? I‘m picturing it in your freezer beside frozen veggies and something in Tupperware that you can‘t remember what the contents are anymore 🤣 4y
Cinfhen No, 😂not because it‘s scary rather because it‘s odd. I wasn‘t connecting. I‘m hoping it‘s just a timing thing. LMK your thoughts when u get to it. I‘m also curious about this one. I‘ve only seen glowing reviews but I‘m not sure if it‘s for me 🤔 4y

What can be more bountiful than friendship and Mma Potokwani‘s Persuasive Fruit Cake?

The friendship between Mma Potokwani, head of the local orphanage, and Mma Ramotswe of the No. 1 Ladies‘ Detective Agency is a cornerstone of this series. Whenever Mma Ramotswe goes to chat with Mma Potokwani they usually solve any problem over generous slices of fruit cake.

I adored this book! I've read all of the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency books up to and including this one. As the Winston-Salem Journal said, "These novels lift the spirits. They make the reader feel good -- about life, the world, the basic decency of people. They are wise." And honestly, don't we all need more of that these days?

Libby1 True true true true true! Do you have a favourite in the series so far? Mine are Blue Shoes and Happiness, and the most recent, Precious and Grace. 8y
