This review will probably sound like all of my other reviews for the novels in Alexander McCall Smith's No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency series, so I will keep this short and sweet.

Smith continues the adventures of Mma Ramotswe and her companions with a story that is tender and compassionate, without ever feeling trite or false. McCalls stories are just a pleasure to read and always leave me smiling. I think that it's a shame that HBO canceled the series, which was really spot on versions of the stories, especially the casting.

This latest edition has a great surprise appearance when a very special visitor shows up at the agency. I really liked the story line with Phuti. Smith has really branched out with giving the spotlight to minor characters, like Phuti, as the series progresses. I glad that Smith is such a quick and prolific author, as I am looking forward to the next installment.
