The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency 5-Book Boxed Set
Date undefinedThis set of books is delightful. It is an easy, light read with charming characters and an interesting setting. The flaws of the characters are revealed with kindness and humour as they follow a story line unique to Africa. Get ready to drink lots of tea.

Date undefinedI loved this series, No. 1 Ladie's Detective Agency. I was intrigued since the stories are written by a Scottish MAN and are about a middle aged African WOMAN in Botswana who decides to open a Detective Agency. The author has a wonderful grasp of the culture and sense of Africa and especially Botswana. His writing provides very simple, very easy reading and kept me interested. LOVED Precious Ramotswe, the "traditionally built", observant heroine with traditional Botswanian values and morals. I was introduced to a country I'd barely heard of and was sad to leave when the books were all read.

Date undefinedneed to update description to include 'which' books are in the set, but i see other reviewers have done so... this is just an excellent series, full of local color, and ordinary human interaction presented in an extraordinary way...! beneath the self.controlled tone and thoughtful stream.of.consciousness is a depth of interpretive perception that is equally surprising and delighting... tough guys who are asked by their marriage conselors to describe their 'feelings' should read these books for examples of what that means...
