Publisher Description

A complimentary comparison to Bette Midler is only the beginning of what can be said about Monique Marvez. With an hourglass figure and a stopwatch wit, she has emerged as one of Miami's brightest and most provocative talents. Marvez believes in the adage, You can never make a second first impression. She has consistently sold out clubs and concert halls from Miami to Anchorage.

On Built for Comfort, Monique digs into relationships, primarily the male-female kind! She will keep you in stitches as she reflects on sex, dating, and growing up. An hour spent with her is a treat not to be missed!

"Look, if I am reading #11 in a series, then either a) Smith can write, b) I am completely biased and indeed may be related to Smith or receiving kickbacks, or c) I really really enjoy the gentle stories from Botswana. And guess what? It really doesn't matter what the answer to this pop quiz may be. Since the series need not be read in sequence, you can jump in here, but I suggest you start at the delicious beginning, fall in love with Botswana and Precious Ramotswe, and look forward to this delightful book."

    " The 11th is his series about Mma. Ramotswe - I think he may be reaching the end of this series life. Still a pleasant read but lacking something. "

    " Another fun read by Mr. Smith. His books are always fun to read and a nice change from stories that are more controversial. His understanding of human nature is always enlightening. One never has to worry about any bad scenes in his stories, and he has a way of turning everyday events into stories that we like to read. "

    " I've read many of The No.1 Ladies Detective Agency Books and enjoyed them - this one was no exception. The pace is gentle (like the life in Botswana it describes I suppose). The cases that Mma Ramotswe handles are usually domestic and unremarkable, you certainly won't find murder and mayhem in these pages, but you will find great charm and a clear love of life both in the beautiful writing and in the characters.

    " This installment was a little more serious than many in the series, and some of the plot arcs are starting to get longer (more than one book). The coincidences that tidy up all the loose ends are still pretty improbable, but the satisfied feeling that everyone ends up better off than they started is still a welcome one. Not every book has to be crushingly realistic -- this series is a great way to escape without being 'fluffy' or 'ditzy'. "

    " This is the most recent of the Number 1 Ladies Detective Agency series. Comfortable reading, comforting stories, common theme. None of the characters stretched very much, and I was disappointed there wasn't more Mr. J.L.B. Maketoni in this one. "

    " I love listening to these books because Lisette Lecat does such an amazing job of narration. Well, also I like the characters especially the philosophical, traditionally built Mma Ramotswe. "

    " Most enjoyable as always. when U need a break from reading about depression and slavery, as I have just been doing, the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency Series is the perfect antidote! "

    " Just a comfortable read. We get to go to a safari camp in this one. As the Brits would say, Mma Ramotswe's comments on human nature are "spot on!" "

    " Another delightful sequel in McCall Smith's No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency series. A fun and quick read, though the storyline seemed to have less action (especially for main characters) than other of his books. But very enjoyable. "
