Product Information

THE NO. 1 LADIES DETECTIVE AGENCY - Book 8 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. In the life of Precious Ramotswe a woman duly proud of her fine traditional build there is rarely a dull moment, and in the latest installment in the universally beloved No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency series there is much happening on Zebra Drive and Tlokweng Road. Mma Ramotswe is experiencing staffing difficulties. First Mr. J.L.B. Mate-koni asks to be put in charge of a case involving an errant husband. But can a man investigate such matters as successfully as the number one lady detective can? Then she has a minor falling-out with her assistant, Mma Makutsi, who decides to leave the agency, taking the 97 percent she received on her typing final from the Botswana Secretarial College with her. Along the way, Mma Ramotswe is asked to investigate a couple of tricky cases. Will she be able to explain an unexpected series of deaths at the hospital in Mochudi? And what about the missing office supplies at a local printing company? These are the types of questions that she is uniquely well suited to answer. In the end, whatever happens, Mma Ramotswe knows she can count on Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni, who stands for all that is solid and true in a shifting world. And there is always her love for Botswana, a country of which she is justifiably proud."

A very sad story, but an excellent account of the holocaust. A book I would recommend others to read, particularly since antisemitism is quickly rising in the USA, and around the world. It should be a must read in schools! The transaction was smooth. The book arrived quickly, came as described. and was securely packed. Also, very reasonably priced! Would definitely buy from this seller again! Highly recommend!

    The Good Husband of Zebra Drive

    This is the 8th novel in the Ladies No.1 Detective Agency Series and I have read them all. These stories by Alexander McCall Smith are insightful, funny, fresh, clean, suspensful, with no foul language or violence. These stories are of the everyday lives of the people in and around Gaborone, Botswana, Africa and the detective work of Mma Ramotswe who helps keep things running smoothly. There is something addictive about these novels and it is difficult to put them down once you start reading. I have shared them with my teenage grandchildren, both boys & girls, my friends and neighbors and they become "hooked". We are all hoping that Mr. Smith continue this series.

    The Good Husband of Zebra Drive Alexander McCall Smith

    This book is the 8th in the NO. 1 LADIES DETECTIVE series, by Alexander McCall Smith. It is a sweet, charming series about an African lady who starts a detective agency with her inheritance. This story revolves around the mysterious deaths at a local hospital and in this story, Precious Ramotswe's husband decides to try his hand at solving a crime. I love these books and wait anxiously for each new story, this one was just as satisfying as each of the previous stories.

    The Good Husband of Zebra Drive by Alexander McCall Smi

    I love this entire 'detective' series of books by McCall Smith. However, some of the hardcover versions are in large print, and not that easy to read unless you need large print - so check before buying.
