This is a light, fun, easy read about a lady detective in Africa. Read this for lighter fare after you’ve read more serious or depressing novels. It is a very funny book. I wouldn’t necessarily label it a “cozy”, though, because there were a few elements that would disqualify it. I definitely plan on reading more about Precious Ramotswe.

These are a fun read! Luckily the author is so prolific there are plenty of other books around to read while we wait for each new instalment of this series.
