This is the second book in The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency series by Alexander McCall Smith. I read the first book earlier this year and enjoyed it very much. A light-hearted mystery like this was perfect for the late night hours of the read-a-thon.
In this book, Mma Ramotswe gets more cases and a very big surprise from her fiancé. She continues to solve them in her own unique way, and the “surprise” might just be enough to change her mind about him. I definitely plan on continuing this series when I need a break from more serious reading. A very fun, light mystery series.

I very much enjoy reading the books in this series when they come out.
I’m going to begin this one today. I read the first one in 2004 and didn’t really care for it. It wasn’t what I had expected. Now I’m prepared for more of a character study. My hopes are high.
I listened to the audiobooks read by Lisette Lecat. They were wonderful. I preferred the audiobook so I could enjoy the accents.
i really loved The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency and this one is on my 2nds Challenge list too. hopefully i’ll get to it soon!
