The No, 1 Ladies Detective Agency
by Alexander McCall Smith
I just loved this book. It seems slow-paced but never drags--it meanders like a springtime walk in the woods. It only took me a minute to fall in love with Mma Ramotswe and I'm eager to read all her adventures as the first lady private detective in Botswana. It's not Sherlock Holmes vs. Moriarty, but who cares? Sherlock Holmes gets boring when he's always one step ahead of the rest of us. Mma Ramotswe is right there beside us, drinking a cup of tea and relaxing in the shade of her acacia tree.
