The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency
Our Thoughts
This book tells the story of MMa Ramotswe, her back story and her life as the head of the Number One Ladies Detective Agency, the only female private detective in Botswana. Through the narrative we get a good feel for what led MMa Ramotswe (aka Precious) to open the agency and how she conducts her business, though not one involved mystery is presented but a series of short mysteries that she solves. The book is good, enjoyable and hard to believe written by a man for its decidedly female perspective, but still not sure it makes for good book club material as it doesn’t lead to many thought provoking conversations.
