This is book two in the No.1 Ladies Detective Agency series where we are further drawn into Precious Ramotswe's world in Botswana, Africa. Interwoven are her new engagement to Rra J.L.B. Matekoni, the owner of Tolkweng Road Speedy Motors, adopted children, unfaithful wives, and devious maids. The way Smith interweaves all the tales I think is just as interesting as the stories themselves. The book isn't broken into story x followed by story y, but each flows through and amongst the others to form a delightful stream of tales.
But what I enjoy most about these books is the background of Africa itself, with it's wide skies, dusty heat and immense landscape.
