What this book is about
The third No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency novel finds Precious Ramotswe juggling cases: judging a local beauty contest while investigating a family whose patriarch may have been poisoned by one of his wives. McCall Smith's gentle Botswana mystery series is one of fiction's great pleasures — warm, wise, and deeply respectful of its setting. These books are as close to stress-free reading as mystery fiction gets.
