Product Information

THE NO. 1 LADIES' DETECTIVE AGENCY - Book 7 Fans around the world adore the best-selling No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series and its proprietor, Precious Ramotswe, Botswana's premier lady detective. In this charming series, Mma Ramotswe--with help from her loyal associate, Grace Makutsi--navigates her cases and her personal life with wisdom, good humor, and the occasional cup of tea. A cobra has been found in Precious Ramotswe's office. Then a nurse from a local medical clinic reveals that faulty blood-pressure readings are being recorded there. And Botswana has a new advice columnist, Aunty Emang, whose advice is rather curt for Mma Ramotswe's taste. All this means a lot of work for our heroine and her inestimable assistant, Grace Makutsi, and they are, of course, up to the challenge. But there' s trouble brewing in Mma Makutsi's own life. When Phuti Radiphuti misses their customary dinner date, she begins to wonder if he is having second thoughts about their engagement. And while Mma Makutsi may be able to buy that fashionably narrow (and uncomfortable) pair of blue shoes, it may not buy her the happiness that Mma Ramotswe promises her she'll find in the simpler things--in contentment with the world and enough tea to smooth over the occasional bumps in the road.

A pleasure." - Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Praise for In the Company of Cheerful Ladies: National Bestseller "Beloved Botswana sleuth Precious Ramotswe is back and better than ever in this sixth entry in McCall Smith's bestselling series. . . . By turns laugh-out-loud funny and quietly profound, these life-affirming mysteries are fine company, indeed." Booklist, starred review "Like clove oil on a bad tooth, McCall Smith's fiction acts on cynicism as an effective, old-fashioned balm." The Globe and Mail "May be the most compelling of the lot. . . . It begins with an incident that crystallizes McCall Smith's skill. Ultimately it is a matter of petty thievery, but his handling of it dramatizes the moral underpinnings of these books. . . . [Mma Ramotswe's] strength and the source of her enormous appeal is her understanding of the human heart, and her willingness to confront its perfidies." New York Daily News "These books offer a sunnily lit window into another world, along with a modicum of relief from certain aspects of modern Western culture. They never descend into mere escapism, though. A few hours spent with Precious Ramotswe and her friends is always time well spent." St. Louis Post-Dispatch "[The] sixth entry in McCall Smith's consistently delightful series. . . Amid the hilarious scenarios and quiet revelations are luminous descriptions of Botswana, land of wide-open spaces and endless blue skies." Publishers Weekly, starred review From the Hardcover edition., "The No. 1 Ladies' Detec-tive Agency series is a literary confection of gossamer deliciousness . . .

  • Blue Shoes And Happiness by Alexander McCall Smith

    The purpose of this article is to write a review of the book, Blue Shoes And Happiness by Alexander McCall Smith. I loved this book!!! I highly recommend that you read this book. The only thing that I would recommend more than that you read this book, is that you read all of the books in this series. This is the seventh book. Just go ahead and order this book and the previous six books in The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series. Once you read any one of these books, you are going to want to read them all. I think that the thing I love about these books is that although they have a mystery base to them, they are not violent and gory. Also, you are not treated to the intimate details of the characters sex lives. What a relief! There is not even a description of people kissing. Mr. ...

  • Happiness is Precious Ramotswe

    This installment of the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency series of books staring Precious Ramotswe and her compatriots finds her worrying about her traditional size, her able assistant's betrothal and an assortment of "cases" bringing in no money, but worthy enough for Precious to find answers where she can. I love this series; common sense accompanied with a keen eye and good judgment and the necessity to do the best one can are what make me want to read each book. Also I love the pride Precious takes in her country, her people and herself.

  • Blue Shoes and Happiness, Alexander McCall Smith

    I initially bought the first book in this series about the first woman detective in Botswana because I especially like reading mystery stories and because my son had recently gone on a mission trip to Botswana and I wanted to learn more about the culture of the country. I found the first book to be interesting and informative about the culture and I have wanted to read more about the characters and the country in each book that has followed. I find Mma Ramotswe to be a very interesting character - logical, dependable, lovable, and upstanding. Mma Makutse is even more interesting with more character flaws and contradictions. Character development has continued in each successive book and adds to plot twists. I have been enjoying each of these books very much and Blue Shoe and Happiness ...

  • Blue Shoes & Happiness by Alexander McCall Smith

    This is the 7th and latest book in a fiction series about the #1 Ladies Detective Agency in Botswana, South Africa. I picked up the 1st book at a garage sale because it looked interesting and I had never read anything by Alexander McCall Smith. I WAS HOOKED!!! The main character is Mma Precious Ramotswe and the books are stories about her life, others in her life, her adventures with her detective agency and her house on Zebra Drive. These stories are so uplifting, simple, funny and sometimes sad that once you start reading you cannot put them down. It makes you realize what is and what is not important. I hope that Mr. Smith continues with this series because I am now in deep withdrawal having read the last book. I recommend this series to men and women, starting with teens.

  • Love This Series

    More from Precious and the gang at the detective agency and motor repair shop. A wonderful series that almost anyone could like. Light and sweet, but still well worth reading, great people and lots of learning involved.
