- Take a Trip to Botswana
I loved this series, No. 1 Ladie's Detective Agency. I was intrigued since the stories are written by a Scottish MAN and are about a middle aged African WOMAN in Botswana who decides to open a Detective Agency. The author has a wonderful grasp of the culture and sense of Africa and especially Botswana. His writing provides very simple, very easy reading and kept me interested. LOVED Precious Ramotswe, the "traditionally built", observant heroine with traditional Botswanian values and morals. I was introduced to a country I'd barely heard of and was sad to leave when the books were all read.

- amazing accomplishment : 'chick lit' written by a guy
need to update description to include 'which' books are in the set, but i see other reviewers have done so... this is just an excellent series, full of local color, and ordinary human interaction presented in an extraordinary way...! beneath the self.controlled tone and thoughtful stream.of.consciousness is a depth of interpretive perception that is equally surprising and delighting... tough guys who are asked by their marriage conselors to describe their 'feelings' should read these books for examples of what that means...

Rating:

- to be savored
for those who enjoy relaxing
and escaping into a world with
interesting characters of a unique culture.

- A pleasant cup of tea
After reading the first book, I wanted to fly to Africa and have a cup of tea with Precious. Her name fits her perfectly. All of the books took me away from the troubled news of the day to a place I truly wanted to be.
