Reviews

"There is no end to the pleasure that may be extracted from these [five] books."--NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW."Forget the library - the body is in the mud hut. An African Marple created by a Scottish law lecturer" SUNDAY TIMES, UK, 'The books possess a beguiling simplicity that is hard to convey without making them seem fey, when in fact they are direct, vivid and down-to-earth … what he achieves in his No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency novels is the depiction..of a benign system of morality - derived by Mma Ramotswe from the old-fashioned ways of doing things' DAILY TELEGRAPH, 'charm that is quite exceptional in modern detective fiction' DAILY MAIL ** 'Whether you're making your first visit to McCall Smith's fictional Botswana or your ninth, it's an irrestible destination' SCOTSMAN
