Publisher Description
International best-selling author Alexander McCall Smith delivers another delightful tale from his critically acclaimed No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series. Precious Ramotswe's comfortable existence as the only detective in Botswana is suddenly rattled when the Satisfaction Guaranteed Detective Agency opens, and its brochure proclaims, "Don't take any chances! Entrust your enquiries to a MAN!" But with wisdom on her side, Mma Ramotswe figures to upstage her competition.

"Alexander McCall Smith did it again. I love Mma Romatswe and her ethical and caring way of solving mysteries for people. She not only goes to the true source, but finds ways to soften the blows when she finds cheating husbands, etc. This is a fun and entertaining series to read. I plan to continue reading them."

" It's the 4th in the series and this light read is in order. "
— Susheela, 2/20/2014 -
" 3.5 may be "
— Monika, 2/18/2014 -
" No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency is still one of my favorite series to read. The first book has some harsh reality moments, the others are clean, enjoyable, and insighful. This particular book was probably my favorite of the series. "
— Colette, 2/16/2014 -
" When I first got into this series I found it completely addictive, but now it seems like the overall plotline for the entire series may have plateaued, and it's getting to be sort of repetitive and formulaic. Not that I won't continue to read through til the end of the series. If I thought the Botswana described in these books was anything like the real country, I would want to visit it. "
— Siyuan, 2/11/2014 -
" Lots of Character development going on in this, the fourth book in the series which is good because its the characters that matter in McCall Smith's writing. Mma Makutsi is coming into her own. As always everything turns out right in the end. Great relaxing afternoon read. "
— Katy, 2/11/2014 -
" Another great story about Precious Ramotswe and her fascinating life... I can't wait to see what's next for the No. 1 Ladies Detective and her assistant.. "
— Denise, 2/1/2014 -
" Another good one! Poor, poor Mma Makutsi.... Will she ever find love? "
— Trisha, 1/23/2014 -
" As the series progresses the investigations are becoming consequential to the goings on in the lives of Mma Ramotswe and her immediate associates. This being the fourth in the series, is the lightest so far in terms of cases for the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency, but is still enjoyable enough. "
— Gavin, 1/19/2014 -
" Not my favorite of the series, but still highly entertaining. The character of Mma Makutsi finally gets a chance to really shine in this 4th book. "
— Danielle, 1/18/2014 -
" I have yet to read a book in this series that hasn't kept my interest. I love the endearing characters and their strengths and foibles. Each book seems to ring true to life in a very readable way. "
— Candice, 12/26/2013 -
" Light, easy reading with fantastic prose and profound observations. "
— Sjauna, 12/11/2013 -
" Another great installment in the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency. I thought the ending was fantastic. I can't wait to read the next one! "
— Nikki, 10/17/2013 -
" These books are so readable, and funny. I really, really want to visit Botswana now. I love the short and easy sentences and the funny little 'mysteries' that Precious has to handle. I also like how Mma Makutsi is starting to play a bigger role. Recommended! "
— Marte, 7/27/2013 -
" These remind me of Agatha Christie books "
— Sharis, 7/2/2013 -
" I love these books. This one was a satisfying read, with several interwoven tales. Mr. JLB Matekoni is back and there is more focus on Mma. Makutsi. Both are great characters, along with the very funny Mr. Buthelezi. A peaceful joy to read. "
— Carla, 5/28/2013 -

" The sherlock holmes-ing continue with Mme Ramotswe and her assistant, with a little romance too. Got to give credit to Mme Matsuti (sp?) for creating a new job opportunity for herself. Look forward to getting into next Book (#5). Recommend. "

" Another book in the series, another pleasurable spell of reading. "
— Elise, 2/25/2012 -
" This just might be my favorite book of the series, so far. Some lovely, lovely moments. Best line: "A radio is a small thing. A man is a big thing" (said in a moment of mercy and forgiveness extended). Really lovely book. "
— Anna, 7/31/2011 -
" Fun, light read with lots of great dialogue...stilted as per experience with African exchange students. Also echos the language of the Kenyan relatives in Obama's story. "

— Jessie, 6/27/2011 -
