Praise for "The Limpopo Academy of Private Detection" and Alexander
McCall Smith:
"Fans of the series will find much to enjoy.... It is all but
impossible to criticise this novel." "The Guardian"
"To say McCall Smith is a literary phenomenon doesn't quite
describe what has happened. He has become more of a movement, a
worldwide club for the dissemination of gentle wisdom and good
cheer." "The Telegraph"
"McCall Smith has few peers in capturing the quiet moments of
people's lives, and his empathetic lead has one of the biggest
hearts in modern literature." "Publishers Weekly"
"The gentle and telling portrait of the human condition lingers
[after reading]." "Star Tribune" (Minneapolis)
INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER
"Does not disappoint.... Wonderful and addictive."
--"newbooks"
"Smith wisely doesn't tamper with his winning recipe for literary
comfort food.... As always, the detection is secondary to Smith's
continuing exploration of the rhythms and social dynamics of
small-town African life."
--"Publishers Weekly" (starred review)
"I love Mma Ramotswe more and more.... These books always leave me
feeling more positive, more optimistic, more content.... Fans will
find nothing disappointing here, other than the soft sigh as you
turn the final page, knowing you must wait a little time again for
the next installment!"
--"The Bookbag "(UK)
