Meet Mma Precious Ramotswe and her No 1 Ladies' Detective Agency. Except Mma Ramotswe does not detect so much as help solve problems brought to her by her clients; problems ranging from the return of stolen cars, teenage relationships to witchcraft. But this is Botswana not middle-England. The African background is lovingly depicted and the reader is introduced to some colourful characters. The most memorable is Precious Ramotswe herself. Gentle, observant, humorous - thoroughly enjoyable
